Democracy can only survive (and thrive) if we are all good citizens. We tend to think that Democracy is something good for us because it can bring prosperity to us. And indeed she has brought a lot of goodies to most of us. But we have also think what we can do to make the fruits of democracy reach everyone, not only themselves. Democracy needs responsible citizens who respect the opinion of fellow citizens and requires citizens who will try to understand the people with different opinions. Democracy is a system that may move slowly (sometimes…) but the duality of the results it brings to the society is of such high volume that guarantee (with high probability…) the progress of the entire society. Democracy also depends on truth, and facts, and education and community spirit, and people (and their representatives) who care about each other. Let’s talk more about what we can all do to make Democracy happy!

Pride and fear – my grandfather taught me voting is a privilege and a responsibility. To vote for the person make the best decision for me whether they looked like me or agree with everything I thought. To vote for someone that would do the research and get to the truth and make the choices to better everyone’s lives. To do the best for my community, state, and nation.
