True, but also true for real democracy: It starts by showing up. And yes, at town hall meetings and in local newspapers (if you still have such) what you usually hear are those (few) who oppose things; those who are content with the situation or with a proposed change, rarely raise their voices. #dkpol

With a global media landscape more interested in conflict than facts & terrified of being called "leftist" we struggle SO MUCH MORE than we should have to, both to try & edify the electorate & to get half-decent election results in spite of an un-edified electorate...
