Andreas Sternowski<p>Democracy must be re-established in every generation. It goes against the way people think: emotionally instead of rationally, subjectively instead of objectively, selfishly instead of for the common good. It must therefore be kept alive with constant effort. The only way to have a functioning democracy is to promote <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/understanding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>understanding</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/morality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>morality</span></a> among <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/voters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>voters</span></a>.</p><p>We have practically given up on both in our <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/schools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>schools</span></a>.
