As people do better, they start voting like Republicans - unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing.

Indeed, when all parties campaign effectively the overall effect is to push up voting rates, as you see in tight marginal seats or close general elections. That must be good for democracy.

Democracy is about voting and it's about a majority vote. And it's time that we started exercising the Democratic process.

When voters know what Democrats stand for, we can improve the lives of all Americans, no matter their race, religion or sexual orientation.

Voting is fundamental in our democracy. It has yielded enormous returns.

You've got the Democratic Party that now depends on more government spending and actual building the dependence on government in order to increase their political party.

I think if people value democracy, they had damn well better get out and exercise their right to vote while their vote still means something.

You cannot say we are a healthy, dynamic democracy when one party wins almost two-thirds of the vote.

It's not the voting that's democracy; it's the counting.

It is easy to fall into the trap of believing that democracy will improve the function of policy.
