Well actually i am not from the united state of america. But i guess this article also talks about my country also. This line you said caught my eyes that "Citizens should be involved, they should care, they should speak their minds, and they should be out there pushing for every vote they can get for the candidates and issues that matter to them. That’s democracy in action and I’m happy to see it on both sides of the political spectrum." Is true, i guess democracy is for citizen to express their mind and cast their vote but some country like my are not like that, some part of my country rig election which is not supposed to be because a citizen has a right to vote so why depriving him or her of that right. Citizen should be the one to showcase their candidate like you have said but not no more instead some top godfather who think they have the power now are now the one choosing their candidate and trying to rig the election in favour of them living out the right of the citizen. I will be glad if my country can make use of this line "Citizens should be involved, they should care, they should speak their minds, and they should be out there pushing for every vote they can get for the candidates and issues that matter to them. That’s democracy in action and I’m happy to see it on both sides of the political spectrum." This is really a great article and i must really commend you for this. I really learnt a lot from this. Thanks for sharing this with us.👍👍👍👍
