Do you know what freedom is?

It's one word.

Two letters.

No.

No, we won't vote for you. No, we won't go back to work. No, you cannot have my body.

Democracy is government by consent. Consent of the people. And consent only exists if it can be refused.

No is the meaning of freedom.

To expand on this, part of the ability to say "No" is of course the expectation that that "No" will be respected.

To truly have a choice, that choice must also be informed, and un-coerced.

This is perfect. It describes all the nuances perfectly.
