Democracy is a 'triangle'.

Democracy is triangular in nature. It has three sides, or better yet, Three Branches. The executive is the Branch that governs. The Judicial is the Branch that helps resolve cases and controversies and generally, defines the 'triangular' form of government as 'constituted' in the Constitution. The Legislative is the Branch that 'houses' all the People; its at the Bottom of government and constitutes the essence of democracy. Its the Peoples government; they 'build' it; they elected the office holders; they are the underlying support of the Top. If their was no Bottom, there would be no need for a government or a Top. That's why, its absolutely insane for any political Party to take the political perspective that 'we do not need Central government'. Government is an essential aspect of the 'condition of togetherness' and 'democratic' government is a Constitutional government that has been arranged in the 'form' of Three branches. Of course, most people know this and most people 'talk' democratically, i.e. 'politically correct'. But, 'talk' of democracy is different from 'doing' democracy. Talk is abstract and deals with generalities. Sometimes it deals with 'specifics', but when it does, they are also abstract. Unfortunately, talk can be 'empty' and 'political talk' usually is. But, 'real' democratic talk 'embraces' the activity talked about in an established policy or law, i.e. democratic policy and democratic law. A complexity of 'democratic talk' is the reduction of the policy to the 'level' of the activity at the Bottom. It has to be more than mere talk. it has to be 'real'; it has to function; and it has to 'embrace' the individual at the Bottom in a 'real', concrete manner. That's the only reason to have a government at the Top. And that's the reason why we need more government, not less. Its time to revamp government to include all the People at the Bottom and not just the 1%.
