they should listen to everyone and make informed decisions
@9H2S65C6mos6MO
yes because the government isn't required to respond to the protests
@VulcanMan6 6mos6MO
How is it a democracy if the government ignores the demands of its own citizens?
@VulcanMan6 6mos6MO
No, because a government is fundamentally not a genuine democracy unless the decision-making power is shared equally among all people.
"Representative Democracies" are not even democratic to begin with, and definitely not ones that ignore the majority demands of their populaces.
@9H2S2WJIndependent6mos6MO
The country can claim whatever it wants to claim. That said, is it Democratic to ignore protests? I do not believe so. I do think a proper response is due and I do believe we should be more open to conversations with the people. I feel as though our leaders are very disconnected from everyday people in our country. We the people feel they don’t understand and the leaders of our country feel we don’t understand. If we had more communication and transparency, maybe that could help.
@9H2RZQN6mos6MO
No, it cannot. A country with true democratic values would uphold freedom of protest and critique.
