Democracy is like communism. They both work, in theory. A democracy becomes less efficient with a larger population. And with a larger population comes more unintelligent/uninformed voters. This is, perhaps, a bigger issue than whether a person has the capacity for good or evil. Misinformed voters leads to incompetent politicians being elected. Whether by environment or choice or many other factors, most Americans are grossly misinformed.
Thats definitely debatable. Being a nazi worked too, you dont see people doing that though. The problem with democracy is most people confuse a democracy with a republic and the fact is a pure democracy flat out doesn't work in a larger society, however a republic does. I totally agree with you that there are a lot of stupid voters out there and also a lot of people who just don't care, but its definitely the best option we have at this point.
ReplyDeleteWell all types of government work in theory. But things always change regardless of what happens. I do think Americans are misinformed of what a democracy is, if thats what you were trying to say, but I do think they are misinformed because they choose not to care, or learn about it. And when something does happen they blame it on the government and not themselves.
