๐Ÿ•Š Democracy is a precious & essential part of our society. Our leadership must always be accountable to the people, & if they are not, we risk oppression. We are, without a doubt, lucky to live in a liberal representational democracy, & when the time comes to vote, we should.
So why then, are people acting politically, with Civil Resistance, outside of this mechanism?
