Jim Luce Writes on Politics

Despite the often murky and corrupt nature of politics, democracy remains the sole system capable of shielding society from the grips of autocracy, oligarchy, and monarchy. In a democracy, participation isn’t merely a privilege but a crucial obligation, ensuring that power rests with the people rather than a select few. In the United States, engaging in the political process is especially vital to preserving the nation’s foundational ideals of liberty and justice. Active civic involvement helps steer the country towards a future that reflects the diverse voices and values of its citizens, keeping it on a course of collective governance and accountability.
