Tim says:
The United States is in a crisis of two nations. Economic instability, racial recogning, a lingering pandemic, and rising authorianism divide Americans by a gulf not experienced since the Civil War. Underlying this disunion are conflicting concepts of what democracy actually is or should be. The old concensus is crumbling. Today for some, physically attacking the nation's capitol makes sense, for others, making it harder for people to vote is a democratic act. On the other hand, many still belive in citizen responsibility in the political process. For these people government and community organizing for social justice is what democracy looks like. Our future can and will be charted by how we conceptualize democracy itself. Understanding, expanding, and sustaining democracy can perhaps lead to a bridging of this not so grand canyon of a national divide. This presentation focuses on the nature of democracy and offers a re-conceptualization of this greatest of human inventions.
