What is Social Democracy?
There are a number of variants, but we can provisionally define it as a political ideology which prescribes the use of democratic collective action to extend the principles of freedom and equality valued by democrats in the political sphere to the organization of the economy and society, chiefly by opposing the inequality and oppression created by laissez-faire capitalism.

MODERATORS
I would avoid the mail for this vote.
To be fair, some people only have mail voting as an option for a variety of reasons. Ballot boxes are preferred, second best is mailing it in as early as possible and tracking it.
