It's not the voting that's democracy; it's the counting.

It's not the voting that's democracy, it's the counting.

One doesn't want one's democracy to behave like a dictatorial or fascistic police. One doesn't.

Remember something, if you will, about voting: Voting is not a horse race, you're not going there thinking "Gee, I gotta pick the winner so I can brag to my friends 'Oh, I picked so-and-so and he or she won'". Voting is voting your heart and voting your conscience and when you've done that, don't ever, EVER let a Democrat or Republican tell you that you've wasted your vote because the fact is, if you DON'T vote your heart and conscience then you HAVE wasted your vote.

Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner

Democracy is not just the right to vote, it is the right to live in dignity.
