Democracy gets a D, when it divides up people so much that there can no longer be any community.
Paradoxically, the pursuit of a "house united" leads to endless conflict, and further division. Instead, "scour the house". Make a little house in your community.
So people need a reality check - form cohesive communities that can learn to live and let live. Don't overly rely on politicians. The "old gray mayor" who is what everyone says he is, turns out... "all politicians are crooks" is not a dismissal of politics, which young people who abstain from voting regard it as. It's a warning. Vote, but be weary of who you vote for. Be wary of politicians, they're all crooks, but how will that serve your community? You must be most critical of those you vote for among those who voted the same.
"Shake the tree"
