IMHO: in a democratic framework, blind loyalty to a specific leader or person is dangerous. Democracy is based on principles, laws, and institutions—not on reverence for an individual. This contrasts with autocratic or monarchical systems where personal allegiance to a ruler might be expected or demanded. 💙✊🏻💙

ChaoticMissAdventures Leader, person, or party! I wrote Jeffries a strongly worded letter last weekend over his words about Zohran Mamdani. You are never going to find me blindly following any one party, or person. Every one of our officials can do better (and I don't trust fully any of them) 7h

#JulyJazz Say 4: The Undefeated, Unbowed, Unbending of them #StarsAndStripes.
