Democracy

Democracy means every contingent has its shot. Power is sequentially shared. 

Democracy doesn’t mean the politicians I prefer get to lock in. That’s not the optimal state of democracy, that’s autocracy. If I’m for that, I’m no more democratic than the people I describe as autocratic. 

Insisting that my side is the only tolerable victor, while waving the flag of glorious patriotic democracy, is the exact move I/we claim to loathe.

I’m horrified by the results, but can’t agree enough.
