"意味のある意味での民主主義とは、市民が基本的に同じ利益を代表する二人の裕福な人の間で選択する権利を持つという意味ではありません。"
— Noam Chomsky
Simplified Meaning:
In a real democracy, people should have the power to choose leaders who truly represent their different needs and opinions. If voters can only pick between two wealthy individuals with similar views, then their choices are limited. This isn't real freedom because the issues that matter to everyday people might not be addressed. For example, imagine if a community could only pick between two managers for their neighborhood association, and both candidates cared mostly about their own businesses rather than what the community needed. To make democracy work better, people should have candidates who come from different backgrounds and who care about different things. This way, everyone feels that their voice matters and that the leaders will work for their benefit.
