"The remedy for what ails our democracy is not simply better education (as important as that is) or civic education (as important as that can be), but the re-establishment of a genuine democratic discourse in which individuals can participate in a meaningful way - a conversation of democracy in which meritorious ideas and opinions from individuals do, in fact, evoke a meaningful response."

Reminds me of one PG Wodehouse. I'm quoting Bertie Wooster:

"I was trying to read a book Florence Craye had given me.... I can’t give you a better idea of the way things stood then than by telling you that the book she’d given me to read was called ‘Types of Ethical Theory,’ and that when I opened it at random I struck a page beginning: -

‘The postulate or common understanding involved in speech is certainly co-extensive, in the obligation it carries, with the social organism of which language is the instrument, and the ends of which it is an effort to subserve.’

All perfectly true, no doubt; but not the sort of thing to spring on a lad with a morning head."
