Power to the people. It's the democracy subreddit!
Freely discuss, but stay on the topic of democracy, not just politics.
Seeking to build a robust, vibrant community where we discuss world events from a small-d democratic perspective.
Democracy is a more fertile subject than you may think. One has only to look at the many types there are to see that. It's the system that runs our world and gives humanity freedom and self-determination, so it's continuously relevant. From election fraud to electoral reform, protest movements to pure theory, this is the home for people who believe in the power of democracy.
Let's discuss your ideas.

From within the Statue of Liberty comes a desperate voice; My Country My Country I cry with douleur, My Country I cry not for me but for thee! My Country at 224 years of age you began showing signs of dementia as citizens became embroiled with hanging chads, wrong decisions and a few called the Supreme justice chose the leaders of your care. You suffered attacks, confusion, unemployment & economic failings; but then came 8 years of remission but an under swelling and severe infection of hostility. my Country you then collapsed with incompetent leadership necessitating respirators, mask and life support with mass loss of citizen life. You suffered severe economic loss. Out of this chaos evolved another 4 years of remission that reflected improvement but you had a nagging cancer that inflamed your dementia which diminished the intelligence of your once very smart, educated and innovative citizens that now are barely above functionally. Your citizens cherish being inarticulate and naive. With the best of leadership in this 4 years, prognosis improved, hope uplifted and economic stability resumed. My Country, with 249 years of freedom, the cancer and dementia overwhelmed your citizens choices and now you face mass suffering both internally but also to friendly democracy led nations. My Country once the beacon of the World, your dementia has encompassed your citizens and your cancer prevails as your light grows dim. My Country My Country from within the Statue of Liberty comes a faint voice, "forefathers forgive them for they understand not what they have done. My Country I cry for your democracy and Liberty"!
Are you guys aware of what Putin is doing to the west? This guy is destabilising societies in a lot of western countries over the last decades. He flooded our societies with mis/disinformationstorms, so societies get divided and the people lose the overview over facts and non-facts. They created bot accounts on nearly all social media platforms and flooded them with all sort of fake news.
Now, when we look at the development of societies in the west? It seems, Putin's plan has worked...
Call to Action for Governmental Reform
This document expresses my concerns regarding practices and policies of the U.S. government that appear to deviate from the principles of limited government, individual liberty, and equal protection, as guaranteed by the Constitution. I, a humble DUMB DUMB, a citizen of the United States, exercise my rights to voice these concerns and advocate for reform.
I am particularly concerned about:
These concerns warrant public debate and action. The Constitution, particularly in its preamble, emphasizes the government's role in establishing justice, ensuring domestic tranquility, providing for the common defense, promoting the general welfare, and securing the blessings^(1) of liberty. These principles suggest a government focused on protecting individual rights and promoting the well-being of its citizens. I believe the practices outlined above contradict these foundational principles.
Call to Action:
I urge fellow citizens to take the following steps:
I am committed to working within the legal system to promote transparency, accountability, and a government that serves all its citizens. This declaration is not meant to undermine the legal system, but to strengthen it by ensuring it adheres to its intended purpose of upholding justice and protecting individual liberties. I affirm my commitment to all lawful obligations and exercising my rights responsibly.

This report from Clark county, nevada, shared by the election truth alliance organization clearly shows discrepancies and irrelevancies in the elections of the presidency in 2024 Nationwide and in Nevada as well, this is clearly major evidence that Donald Trump along with his cohorts, sabotaged the elections, that would have given Kamala Harris her win to be our president. This is clear proof that we have been warning for years especially after 2016, of what Trump would be doing to sabotage our democracy and ripping our freedoms away. Read this report and share it with others to get them to wake up, we are already in the process of planning of maybe fighting for a recall election and so much more. We need to really send a message to our state legislators and stuff to reopen the machines and open the voting records and to start an investigation at once.

What’s happening?
Currently fed workers across the United States are being strong armed into resigning from their positions.
If they do, it will become grounds for a fascist takeover of the United States.
What can I do?
Shitpost. No, I’m serious. Fed worker morale is at an all time low, and we need them to know we care about them, even if we have… strange ways to show our care.
Let’s shitpost our way to victory. Vive la résistance!

Hey fellow polsci enjoyers.
As a german, it is a natural question to ask oneself why and how democracies fail and how to guarantee their stability, and i feel like the best way to learn about politics is to do them.
So, i made a server where all members' goal is to build and maintain a democracy. What strategies could i implement and which ones have historically been successful?
By the way, if you want to join, feel free ;)

Before the farmer died, he asked his son: "The pig complains that the feed is too poor, the cow complains that the work is too heavy, and the chicken complains that the coop is too dusty. What should we do?"
The son replied: "Give the pig better feed, have the cow do lighter work, and clean the chicken coop."
The farmer shook his head and said, "You just need to do two things:
Here's her post threatening senators to confirm RFK JR or she'll use her money to primary Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, and more established senators.
I find it highly coincidental that the tech oligarchs who previously had a laissez faire attitude to government are suddenly settling lawsuits that happen to put a big chunk of change in the president's pockets. Seems a pseudo-legal way to simply bribe an official for supporting you in the future. Especially since the lawsuit lacked any standing at all. Thoughts?

Most of you already know I am running against Tommy Tuberville. This is the process I have had to adhere to.
I want to talk a minute and detail the process to get involved in the midterm elections for anyone wanting to run.
There may be additional steps required for each of you depending on what specific office and state you're on.
If you're interested in running for office in the midterm elections, this is most streamlined process you can take from my experience.
Decide on a platform. Decide what you want to run on and what policies are most important to you.
Contact your local party committee and become involved. (Here is where you will decide if you're going to test the waters or launch a full campaign.) They will help you understand which additional state steps you may need to take to fully qualify.
File the paperwork with the FEC to become an official candidate.
Begin fund raising and campaigning in mass.
Earn ballot access. (This costs money)
Campaign some more.
Win or lose the election.
That's basically it. There is nuance and every level of office has a different fee and process associated with running. Not every campaign will raise money, especially smaller local campaigns.
Feel free to ask questions here and i'll do my best to answer.
Google is your friend and can help with a lot of nuanced questions if you are willing to spend a little time reading.
I want to donate more to fight the Trump administration and the 2025 agenda. Not sure which organisation has had the most success and can have the most impact.
Anyone remember 1992 Fern Gully...the villain is this black blob that feeds off murdering trees, the more destruction that's caused, the more pollutions that created, the more powerful it grows...it has its own song. I want to take that bit of the film, and put a face on it...a very specific face...a very orange face...catch my meaning. Any suggestions? Help!
