Democracy is genius. Why? Because it’s a channel for the emergence of group conscience, a place where the best of who we are can come together with the best of who others are to create a wave of collective wisdom.

That’s why any undermining of our democracy - from political gerrymandering to voter suppression to the dominance of money and party manipulation of the process – should be seen as an attack on our most basic freedom and strongly resisted.

In Judaism it says every generation must rediscover God for itself. Similarly, every generation of Americans must re-discover the importance of democracy for ourselves. When we fail to psychologically and emotionally embrace its importance, others can inevitably begin to steal it

You lack the basic understanding of the U.S. form of government. It is a Republic ("if you can keep it"- Ben Franklin). Rule of Law over "votes". That's why there is no "right to vote". The States allow citizens to vote in Federal elections (The "Franchise"-- License).

Marianne, you are so right. Keep using your voice of peace, of reason, of kindness and of light. You are the truth and one day, my hope is that the world will collectively teach its children to stop judging, stop manipulating and use our generosity to help others.

Democracy is a joke in a country of 300 + million with only two viable political parties. I remember how Obama never said the word "poverty" once in his first term, as the poverty rate skyrocketed. Tens of millions of poor, sick and marginalized, who will never have a voice.

You fail to comprehend that science is a pillar of our country. Your thinking is not high enough.

I want to rediscover freedom. I do not want to be under the bondage of a majority. In your plan, can the majority impose their will, or imprison, me on the basis of belief?

Democracy? You mean mob rules! 51% determines what the other 49% can or cannot do.

What concerns me is that people in our society today do not feel safe enough inside their own souls to truly care about other people. 💔
