A citizen of America will cross the ocean to fight for democracy, but won't cross the street to vote in a national election.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The road to democracy may be winding and is like a river taking many curves, but eventually the river will reach the ocean.
I can't imagine anybody not wanting to make sure that noncitizens don't dilute legitimate U.S. citizens' vote.
People are even more wary of politicians and they are realizing that democracy isn't just about putting a cross on a ballot every four years, it's about deciding what you want and fighting for it.
I always preach that you have to be active as a citizen no matter what, and some people just voting as an excuse not to do anything.
If you can't put your values into your vote, we don't have a democracy.
As a citizen, you need to know how to be a part of it, how to express yourself - and not just by voting.
I am a United States citizen and I vote.
America is not just a democracy, it represents a certain culture of competitive mobility and personality aspirations, politics is not merely a clash of interests, but a clash of dreams.
Democracy is not just an election, it is our daily life.
As an American citizen, one has to vote. If we don't vote, we're not doing our part. We'll become some sort of oligarchy.
