You believe that empowering the majority of citizens to actively participate in decision-making processes will lead to a more equitable and just society.
Popular Democracy is a political ideology that emphasizes the broad participation of constituents in the direction and operation of political systems. It often involves the empowerment of the public in a representative democracy, where the people have the power to make decisions directly or indirectly through elected representatives. The ideology is rooted in the belief that citizens should have direct influence over their government, and that political power should be distributed widely among the citizenry.
The concept of Popular Democracy has its roots in ancient Greece, specificall…

How would you promote your favorite extracurricular activity if school clubs were selected by democratic vote?
@9JC8N5C4mos4MO
Simply being on a ballot is more representation than I ever received.
@9JT6N2H3mos3MO
I would add that there will be a lot more change this coming year.
@9JT6LSL3mos3MO
Track allows for a healthy and quick way to get in shape, become more healthy, lose weight, and even let out some of the competitive energy that other students may have built up.
Posting on social media, making posters, and talking to people.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
If you could influence one social issue through a public vote, which would you choose and why?
@9KF4YSTRepublican2mos2MO
Hating each other. We need to come together as a country.
@9KLPR65Women’s Equality2mos2MO
The constant oppression of any marginalized community. All the demonization of anything viewed as different has been the main cause of social conflict within our country.
@9KF4VHHRepublican2mos2MO
The issue of inflation because it make me spend money
Inflation, because the prizes to things are to high right now.
@9KF4XLL2mos2MO
The cost of a college education and related loans and scholarships.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Would you be more likely to follow school rules if they were created by a student majority?
@9J3555W4mos4MO
@9J36F434mos4MO
If the student is stable and there Morales and values are outstanding then yes i have no problem siding with them. But if the student is chaotic then no i would no hear or agree with there opinion.
@9J357264mos4MO
No, if the students had more say I think it would be quite chaotic.
@9J35PTYIndependent4mos4MO
because it would take into account the wants and needs of people like me who understand what it is really like to be in the situation of school at my age. they would be more comprehensive to what students actually need and want.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
If you could use a mobile app to vote on school policies in real-time, what would you vote for first, and why?
@9HYDKZZPeace and Freedom4mos4MO
I would have to see what side offers what and how things that might state benefit me and people around me.
@9HYDTBT4mos4MO
I only vote for the people that will keep there promises and not because of what party they are in..
@9J25G7NRepublican4mos4MO
because that would make it easy for fake votes to come in and also they dont know what and whom they are voting fot.
@9HYDNMK4mos4MO
so its easier to count one by one while votes come in and it is tracked on an app
@9HYDZG8Republican4mos4MO
I would vote for less rallies that waste the time of everyone and don’t do anything.
@ISIDEWITH1mo1MO
How would you encourage your friends to participate if community volunteer projects were chosen by local vote?
@9LGFZ9G4wks4W
I would tell them how if they don't vote their rights might be at risk.
@9LGFXVR4wks4W
We can contact our government officials when we want to support or change a law. Voting in an election and contacting our elected officials are two ways that Americans can participate in our democracy.
@9LGFPZR4wks4W
to voice their opinions and hear other peoples opinions too
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How might the curriculum be different if educational content was decided by a democratic process?
The things taught in school could change to give the idea to lean more to the left
The things taught in school could change to give the idea to lean more to the left.
@9JGTH3L3mos3MO
I would say that the educational content would be more one sided.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
If students could determine the dress code through a vote, what changes would you expect to see, and why?
@9JNLJ6H3mos3MO
We shouldn't be able to see your underwear (sagging).
@9JNLHCX3mos3MO
I wouldn't want to see any changes. Being different makes us unique. Some would probably argue that the "goth" look should be eliminated because it may give off a negative, dark view of a person. Provocative clothing because it could be distracting and baggy clothes because it can reveal underwear and too much of the person's body.
@9JNLFML3mos3MO
I would expect to see dress codes for schools around the country become less strict as most students are against dress codes and are advocates for less strict dress codes.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How might allowing public votes on zoning laws reshape your town or city neighborhood's development?
@9L2QM8R2mos2MO
@9L2QZ5P2mos2MO
I think it could break up the city into different parts then that could be helpful but at the same time might cause delays and issues with funding and construction.
@9L2QQ2R2mos2MO
It could change what buildings will be constructed.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
What would be the first thing you'd change about your school environment given the chance to vote?
@9KG94Q72mos2MO
I would maybe make it more united and less two-sided. It feels like you are either stuck with unmotivated underachievers or incredibly annoying tryhards that are very judgmental.
@9KDBRRK2mos2MO
That concept will be used naturally if it comes to it.
@9KD9SWF2mos2MO
I would inform the students more about voting and why it is important.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
What are your thoughts about minority rights in a system where the majority makes the decisions?
@9H83PC25mos5MO
I agree with the rights about popular democracy. I like how the people are able to make their own decisions and discuss with others to make the world better. I think this is a better way to help bring people together and break barriers.
@9H82MSZRepublican5mos5MO
well minority should not rule majority and i think that the minority should follow the same basic rights
@9H827W65mos5MO
I think that minority rights are good currently and shouldn't be messed with
Minority rights should be heard as well although they are not the winning side. It is good to go buy all opinions if they do make a good point.
