Looking thru Twitter you see people saying democracy is dead, democracy is dying, democracy might die, some even questioning whether we ever were a democracy. I see a democracy under attack and a generation rising up to say “HELL NO. It will not die on our watch.”

We are not a democracy. The USA is a republic. I know. I was born and raised here and have been voting since the age of 18. Never missed a local or federal election. We just pretend to be a democracy so we can kill the poor populations off in other nations.

We are a republic and also a representative democracy. It’s like saying we have windows and we also have a door.

Hi. Marianne. Maybe we should try socialism?

There are socialist democracies in the world. Most European countries are democracies with elements of socialism as well as capitalism.

This assumption that Democracy = elevated moral position is wrong.

This is a nice sentiment, but our side is rising up to say hell no on Instagram, the other side is trying to end democracy and enshrine minority rule, I don’t love our chances

I don’t feel like we’re only doing it on Instagram. There are many, many people out there doing the real work. The point is to help them. candidatesummit.com

Cynicism has replaced complacency as the biggest threat to our democracy. There are those with pseudo-sophisticated excuses for not helping versus those who are active day in and day out trying to save it. Support the good ones! Candidatesummit.com
