Democracy is not just voting in elections; it's not just institutions and laws. Democracy is a spiritual practice. It requires a deep love for our neighbors — especially our neighbors with whom we disagree the most.

Brad Lander: "This is a five-alarm fire for our democracy. Donald Trump is abducting our neighbors every day… Shredding our democratic institutions… My neighbors want someone who recognizes we have to fight like our lives are on the line."

Obama on Texas Democrats fleeing the state: "We can't let a systematic assault on democracy just happen and stand by... This precious democracy that we've got is not a given. It's not self-executing. It requires us to fight for it."

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Our enemy is Russia — for Ukraine, for independence, for democracy. And if this is about democracy, about Europe, then it is a common enemy for 🇵🇱Poland as well. In such cases, we need unity not only with Poland, but with all of Europe. First of all with Poland, because we are big neighbors and we must be friends.

Sen. Padilla: It's not just our democracy, but elections. The Trump administration is not being shy about threatening to steal the November election. Their only hope to stay in power is to initiate a voter purge

States - not presidents or parties - control elections. This call for Republicans to “take over voting” is not just unconstitutional. It’s a giant red flag for democracy.

Donald Trump is not a normal President, and he is not a normal person. All across the state, Illinoisans are fed up seeing our rights, our democracy, and our neighbors under attack – and today, I put out an ad that captures that energy.

Rage. That’s what Abigail Spanberger is calling for. We’ve seen it with racist signs, cruel jeers, even cheering a father’s assassination for daring to disagree. I’m asking for love. Love for our neighbors and our Commonwealth. Because Virginia is for lovers—not rage.

While we wait for the Senate vote—we will not remain silent while our democracy is dismantled. The Trump Admin isn’t just gutting vital programs, attacking our institutions, and firing federal workers—it’s trying to remake America through an extreme ideological agenda. Folks, this is Project 2025 in action - with DOGE and Reconciliation at its service. We must stand up for our communities, our freedoms, and the future of our democracy.

AOC: Eliminating the Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court is “fundamentally pro democracy.” That is not democratic reform. It is dismantling the institutions that hold our democracy together. A vote for Abul gives these radical ideas more power in Washington.

"I think among a lot of Democrats there's this kind of what psychologists would call 'learned helplessness' where you just think, 'Well we can't do anything about it. We have to wait till 2029' ... In New York with some people it's just like, 'Well we just have to do our things in New York and not worry about the rest of the country.' It does not work that way. We are one country. Our democracy can rise or fall on what this man is doing. And, it's not just our democracy. ... It directly affects our lives. The stability of our economy depends on the belief in the rule of law that people think we have a stable legal system, and it's hard to believe that today"

Democracy requires responsibility. It is the President's responsibility to serve the people. It is the people's responsibility to elect leaders who will defend the constitution, and not seize power. Voting for Kamala Harris is our responsibility to America.

ICE murdering our neighbors. Social security under threat. Prices rising for all of us. Our democracy is at stake, and Democrats aren’t fighting hard enough. Stop underestimating voters and give it straight: This admin just doesn’t give a sh*t. We MUST fight back.

Disagreement is democracy, but insult is not. We may criticise leaders, challenge political parties and question ideas, but when argument gives way to abuse, democracy loses its relevance. Let’s disagree fiercely without losing our dignity because I believe a strong democracy is not one where everyone agrees, but one where we disagree without destroying one another.
