I'll attach my list in the next Tweet. I hope you'll share it.
In a nutshell: Democracy will survive if enough people want it to.
It's never been true that the people ("demos" in democracy) can sit back and hope someone else does the work. . .
There's a wonderful passage in Gail Godwin's biography of Lincoln (Team of Rivals) in which she talks about how, in the 19th century, politics was of concern to all citizens.
Ok, white male citizens, but still . . .
People gathered in shops and public places to argue about politics. They felt the weight of responsibility of being the only country where people elected their leaders.
To save democracy, we need to Make Politics Cool Again.
