“Good idea [@EvaVlaar] If the EU actually cared about democracy they should establish a mechanism for a binding referendum on its future trajectory. Let The People decide whether they want to remain within the current framework, exit entirely, or at least reduce competences. Vox Populi, Vox Dei.”
“AbolishTheEU [@MarioNawfal] 🇪🇺 WELCOME TO THE EU'S BUREAUCRATIC EMPIRE: WHERE DEMOCRACY GOES TO DIE So, you went to the polls. You voted. Maybe you even knocked doors or argued politics with your uncle over dinner. Congratulations. You exercised your democratic right. Now let’s tell you why it doesn’t… https://x.com/i/web/status/1997203128664375735”

“Precisely [@peterrhague] No. Blue checks are not mislabels (notice how as a government official you get a grey one…). And the “research” the EU wants done is basically dragnet surveillance for wrongthink in order to maintain Europes new Managed Democracy.”

“Freedom of speech is the bedrock democracy. The only way to know what you are voting for.”
“Yes [@TheRabbitHole] Elon on Joe Rogan: "If you don't have freedom of speech, people can not make an informed vote. If they're just being fed propaganda, and there's no freedom of speech, democracy is an illusion."”

“The leader of the EU should be elected by the people of the EU, not appointed by a committee! [@elonmusk] @vonderleyen If democracy is the foundation of freedom, surely your position as leader of the EU should be elected directly by the people?”

“We’ve open sourced the 𝕏 algorithm not because we think it’s smart, but to show it’s MANY flaws! Every week, we try to make it better, not always succeeding, but to be as transparent we are with @CommunityNotes. Like democracy, it’s the worst algorithm, except for all the”
“Bravo 🇬🇧 [@benhabib6] It is the establishment that has practiced EXTREME policies against the people for at least 30 years. They have given up our sovereignty, our democracy, our freedoms and our borders. We are now speaking out. Our doing so is entirely justified but to protect themselves and”

“The Labor Party goal is destruction of democracy by importing voters and bribing them with benefits paid for by British citizens [@Basil_TGMD] How Labour plan to win the next election ⬇️ In the Scottish and Welsh devolved assembly elections the voting age is 16 The Labour Government changed the voting rules in UK wide elections to match this In the Scottish and Welsh devolved assembly elections foreigners can vote”
“Crazy [@shellenberger] America spends trillions on NATO to protect democracies including Germany. But it is has just prevented an opposition candidate from running for mayor for frivolous reasons including his praise for "Lord of the Rings." This is a clear violation of NATO's Charter.”
“A nation with a government against its people shall perish from the Earth [@benhabib6] He says he wants to shut illegal migrant hotels but @Keir_Starmer fights tooth and nail to keep them open. Against the wishes of local residents and the local authority the Epping hotel will now stay open. So much for democracy and the security of British citizens. Illegal”
“Exactly [@the_jefferymead] Gavin Newsom says “democracy is at risk” because Texas might redraw its districts. But in California, Harris got 58.5% of the vote in 2024 and Democrats hold 82.7% of House seats. Republicans got 38.3% of the vote and just 17.3% of the seats. Replace the word “democracy” with”
“Wow [@the_jefferymead] JB Pritzker talking about “democracy.”….. In Illinois, 43.5% voted for Trump and 54.4% for Harris. Democrats hold 82.4% of the U.S. House seats. Republicans have just 17% despite nearly 44% of the vote. Look at that little pinky looking district in this video. Created purely”
“@Mick_O_Keeffe Ireland should leave the EU. All countries should imo. It is destroying democracy in Europe.”
“By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it! When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom. [@elonmusk] Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system! Should we create the America Party?”

“RT @nayibbukele: When will all these rankings and colored maps finally stop calling Germany a full democracy?”
“Banning the centrist AfD, Germany’s, most popular party, would be an extreme attack on democracy [@shellenberger] Since WWII, Germany's liberal democracy has held. Now, it's on the brink. The government censors, spies on, and persecutes critics. And, today, it laid the groundwork to ban the nation's most popular political party, the AfD. My exclusive interview with one of its leaders.”
“@DataRepublican Mars will have direct democracy, which is less prone to corruption”
“Eisen is a criminal [@DefiyantlyFree] Just a reminder the architect of these protests is Norm Eisen and he told us this was the playbook in 2019.

“Bureaucracy undermines democracy [@WallStreetApes] Stephen Miller gives a masterclass on the role of the President of the United States “A president is elected by the whole American people.He's the only official in the entire government that is elected by the entire nation. Judges are appointed. Members of Congress are elected”
“When the radical left can’t win via democratic vote, they abuse the legal system to jail their opponents. This is their standard playbook throughout the world. [@MikeBenzCyber] Marine Le Pen in France, Bolsonaro in Brazil, Imran Khan in Pakistan, Matteo Salvini in Italy, Donald Trump in America, Calin Georgescu in Romania The criminal prosecution of every populist challenger is a dagger in the heart of the credibility of democracy.”
“Imagine if every member of Congress had a veto right on legislation that could only be overridden by a committee that meets infrequently. Same thing. [@StephenM] There are 677 local district judges. Under current procedure, the president needs unanimous consent from all 677 to implement a major decision. If just 1 communist out of 677 unelected judges disagrees, the action is frozen. Nationwide. That is not democracy. That is tyranny.”
“Something needs to be done to stop the repeated and egregious violation of democracy by the judiciary. That is obvious to all. [@HawleyMO] District Court judges have issued RECORD numbers of national injunctions against the Trump administration - a dramatic abuse of judicial authority. I will introduce legislation to stop this abuse for good”
“Without judicial reform, which means at least the absolute worst judges get impeached, we don’t have real democracy in America [@charliekirk11] Clinton appointee Judge William Alsup says the Trump Admin has to rehire 30,000 laid off probationary hires. He says that trying to cut headcount is a "sham" and actually it's legally mandatory for taxpayers to keep paying them. What will blue judges come up with next? Will they…”
“Exactly [@StephenM] Under the precedents now being established by radical rogue judges, a district court in Hawaii could enjoin troop movements in Iraq. Judges have no authority to administer the executive branch. Or to nullify the results of a national election. We either have democracy, or not.”
“Extremely fundamental to your freedom [@teslaownersSV] Elon Musk "The President is the elected representative of the people. If the President cannot get things implemented as a reflection of the will of the people, then what we have is not a Democracy, we have a Bureaucracy. Rule of the bureau, not rule of the people.””
