Guest Column from Penn Leads the Vote | Democracy is only great when its citizens participate
Democracy is based on the notion that the people should govern themselves — that the people have a voice. When we don’t vote, we lose that voice. In doing so, we do ourselves, and our community a disservice. And this disservice will not be short-lived. The reverberations of the 2018 election will be felt far into the future. If we don’t vote, we won’t have a say in that future.
