What Democracy Isn't

What is democracy?

Perhaps, instead, we should begin by asking what democracy isn’t:

---

Democracy isn’t throwing away mail-in ballots.

Democracy is spending an hour searching your apartment for a stamp for your mail-in ballot, giving up and buying new stamps at the post office, and then immediately finding where you keep all your stamps as soon as you get home.

---

Democracy isn’t denying election outcomes you don’t like.

Democracy is denying Love is Blind outcomes you don’t like.
