Hi Miriam,
When the citizens are lazy and eschew political disagreement, that hinders
the effective functioning of a democracy. Jefferson once said that stupid
people are easy to rule and he was right. 
Only when and if we have a citizenry that cares enough to do its homework
and is willing to take more of a long run approach can we expect to have a
democracy that funcions effectively and justly.
