About This Quote

The good thing about democracy is that every vote counts. The problem with democracy is that every vote counts. This quote by Gore Vidal is about the difference between the power of the individual and the power of the people. Every vote counts, but not every vote counts equally.

That means minority groups can be oppressed by a majority and cannot make their voices heard. Vidal's point is that we all need to speak up and be heard.
