If power were truly in the hands of the people, surely they should be able to choose whomever they want — a true choice instead of picking from alternatives. And what is more democratic than writing the name of whomever one wants in power, regardless of — in spite of — the persons presented on the voting slip. In this manner, regardless of who wins, the symbol chosen by the people will always haunt the incumbent. And, not only would the candidate that won through the system be discredited, not only would the democratic system be called into question, the people would have actually spoken.
The people would have actually dreamed.
Perhaps, what we need now is to take the messages that we have been bombarded with — that nothing is impossible — seriously. And read it alongside the other message we are not allowed to forget: that the good times are over, that we need to tighten our belts, and most importantly, that the state owes us nothing.
And demand what we have been owed:
the impossible.
For, dreams are quite literally worth fighting for. And if they don’t let us dream, we won’t let them sleep.
