@WarnerCrocker My observation of my fellow Americans, family, friends, etc is that most are not actually interested in the work of democracy. Not even a little. They can barely be bothered to vote. Going beyond that? Never unless they are somehow directly impacted.

We should not have the word activist because in a real democracy everyone would be actively engaged. But for many decades the vast majority are only active in consumption of goods and entertainment.

We seem to want autocracy.
