And I really think many #Americans are not getting how very dangerous these Trumpist, far right, militia, and deluded people are. I mean, this is bad, people. We may be at a tipping point where we #RenewDemocracy or we lose it.

Because we increasingly exist in separate universes & casual dehumanization is the obv choice, it is essential to listen to ppl in whatever the enemy camp is to us. Not to condone what they think & do, but to remember they are human beings & remind them we are too
#RenewDemocracy
A leap of faith in the ability of selflessness to triumph over greed, democracy is a protocol built on hope. Hope that, together, we can build a better society in spite of our obvious failings.

Democracy means hearing diverse perspectives but not granting any one of them authority. Democracy is communal and consensual or it fails. Fearing the mob isn't democracy; neither is minority rule.
Democracy is complicated and essential for civil society. 4/4
#RenewDemocracy
Democracy is a decision by a society to band together to support all, not just the majority & powerful. It means working together for common good, not bowing to thugs. It means freedom, not free rein to cause damage. It means using your voice not your fist. 1/4
#RenewDemocracy
Great to see that my longtime pal @GreggDCaruso has taken the #RenewDemocracy challenge. Perhaps @danieldennett would like to respond with a competing view???
If we truly want to #RenewDemocracy, our country and the world would do well to listen to @Kasparov63 .
"The worst result would be letting the mutineers off the hook -- and this includes the elected officials who encouraged them, like Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley and especially Trump."
Loved this podcast with @Kasparov63, @StanMcChrystal, and @FussellChris! All brilliant leaders and all fighting to promote good leadership & to #RenewDemocracy.

"I recognize that I've taken much of our democracy for granted. There's more that I have to do to make it work, not just for myself, but for others." #RenewDemocracy
Democracy is a fragile thing. I was challenged by @Renew_Democracy and @RobertTalisse to say what democracy means to me as part of the #RenewDemocracy series. Here are my brief thoughts:
Here’s @RobertTalisse’s encapsulation of the basics of a democratic republic. Part of the #RenewDemocracy Challenge.

@DonaldJTrumpJr would love to know what democracy means to you . Clear up the misconceptions! #renewdemocracy
@Renew_Democracy @AVindman Democracy is a learning process: the majority may be wrong, but putting their theory to the test reveals errors and demagoguery while giving the nation a non violent option to correct its course.

@pamela_herd @mirandayaver My first paper for master's degree in public administration was "Bureaucracy & Democracy". Only w/equality of process/services & accountability of oversight, can we even hope to have services and democracy. Violations of merit hiring & favoritism erodes democracy. #RenewDemocracy
#RenewDemocracy My family has been here since long before the Revolutionary War. I believe that democracy means responsibility - the responsibility to be informed about candidates and issues of the day, responsibility to vote based on that information, cont.
Thank you for sharing what democracy means to you and thank you for sharing your family history. #RenewDemocracy #HereRightMatters
For those who didn't see it, my new blog post is about the #RenewDemocracy challenge. We were asked to think about why democracy matters and explain what it means to us. See if you agree with my response:
@edwards21228 @debbieSerop @natsechobbyist @Renew_Democracy @RealJacobPerry @NotAbouThatBase @UnpaintedMelody @AVindman I can’t wait to read your book! Thanks for accepting the #RenewDemocracy challenge.
I accept the #RenewDemocracy challenge. Here is my statement on democracy. I challenge @anthonycwalker @pamelasm and @gclaytontarvin
See more @Renew_Democracy
@debbieSerop @natsechobbyist @Renew_Democracy @SFCDad12B @RealJacobPerry @NotAbouThatBase @UnpaintedMelody @AVindman I stand with Lt. Col. Vindman. Here’s my democracy video and my stand for the Founding Principle of counting every vote.
The Constitution is the Business Plan for our nation. Its Preamble is our Mission Statement:
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare,
#RenewDemocracy:
* Being able to choose to campaign for & win an election.
* Seeing how money corrupts political decisions because whistleblowers & journalists exist.
* Having access to govt budget spending plans & commenting on poor judgement by politicians.
* And so much more.
So proud of my Uncle Ed. He has been an educator for 30 years and has been a true community leader and advocate for equality and opportunity for all. We need more like him. #HereRightMatters #RenewDemocracy.
Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to many more from many others. #RenewDemocracy

Democracy is beautiful but it is fragile. This is my #renewdemocracy challenge video. I challenge Jacob @RealJacobPerry, Melvin @edwards21228 and Adam @NotAbouThatBase to the challenge and tell us what democracy means to them. @UnpaintedMelody @AVindman @natsechobbyist
Thanks @BillyRay5229. Challenge to talk about what democracy means to me accepted. #RenewDemocracy
Tagging @AshaRangappa_ @JillWineBanks @KimberlyEAtkins @ProfMMurray & @BarbMcQuade (and any of y'all who'd like to do it too, the more the better)
Democracy is a political ideal and a moral aspiration
My bit for the #RenewDemocracy series. The challenge is to say in 90 secs what democracy means to you. I’m a Ramones fan (@RamonesOfficial), so did it in 77.
Your turn: @myishacherry @rinireg @GreggDCaruso @Renew_Democracy
“Democracy is the worst form of gov't, except for all the others.” It doesn’t come without warts & rough edges. But they should be celebrated & smoothed out, because it’s all we've got. What does democracy mean to you? Join us and @stephenfry for the #RenewDemocracy challenge!
We're excited to launch the #RenewDemocracy Challenge with @AVindman! During a dark time, we need to showcase the best of our democracy. Share a short video about what democracy means to you & nominate 3 friends to do the same! Be sure to use hashtag: #RenewDemocracy
