    Sorry, you can’t have democracy without basic political agency. You can’t have basic political agency without the ability to speak freely.

    Picking between three party approved technocrats is not sufficient for political self determination.

      Somebody should let people like Assange, Manning, and Snowden know that they can speak freely.

      Ah yes, real democracy is picking between parties owned by the oligarchs. 😂
