Few things in life guarantee a form of government like democracy. Where we all get to decide our fate together through the voting system. Not all majority votes guarantee that they will be implemented but the voice of the people at minimum is heard. Sometimes issues of national security and economics prevents the will of the people but by far the will of the people is addressed through democracy. We are imperfect in our democratic protocols but we are evolving those protocols as we move forward. Our union of states have many different issues but what we all can say is that the voice of our constituents is important to defining and creating solutions that help us all along in life. Again we are not perfect but the will of the people is stronger than the forces that try to suppress us.
What is of great importance is our ability to navigate our democracy so that it is never undone from within or without. Protections to safeguard the right of all individuals who wish to vote must be iron clad. Protections to safeguard the equality of every person is another area that must be iron clad. There are many fundamental rights that democracy must protect and we the people who elect our representatives must prioritize that with them. The stewardship we Americans show our own democracy is being emulated around the world so our example of protecting our democracy must be vigilant and forthright.
We can never lose sight of the fact that there are many among us who hate the idea of equality. They want to take more than theirs and leave others with less. They are not believers in the fairness and justice of democracy as their worldview is one of selfishness and greed. Which is why we must all be aware of our surroundings and the people whom we elect to protect our rights. What kind of people are we if we allow our democracy to be overrun by conmen and tyrants? We would be less than honorable. A state of being I have no intention of allowing on my watch.
