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.
