The most precious aspect of democracy is how it tames uncertainties about the future. Elections allow for collective self-governance and accountability, shaping an uncertain future equally.
Political theory often debates democracy's failures and the blame game, but overlooks the need to define what type of democracy is worth defending in turbulent times.
Times of uncertainty drive political discourse towards defending democracy against autocracy, yet we must ask: what kind of democracy do we need to endure these challenges?
Democracy’s essence lies in its ability to address anxieties about the future. Elections serve a deeper purpose than mere leader selection; they engage the citizenry in shaping future outcomes.
