Democracy is just a reflection of our morals and the things that we believe.
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.
Democracy matters because it reflects an idea of equality and an idea of liberty. It reflects an idea of dignity, the dignity of the individual, the idea that each individual should have an equal vote, an equal say, in the formation of their government.
Democracy is a daring concept - a hope that we'll be best governed if all of us participate in the act of government. It is meant to be a conversation, a place where the intelligence and local knowledge of the electorate sums together to arrive at actions that reflect the participation of the largest possible number of people.
Anyone who wants to be part of the political process should adopt values that are compatible with democracy.
If you can't put your values into your vote, we don't have a democracy.
Democracy literally means the power of people. Democracy is not about politics, it is about the people.
Democracy is a device that insures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.
