The Average American is too dumb, uninformed, and generally apathetic to be trusted with a power of choosing the leaders of our country. I don't know what I'd like better but our country keeps electing retards
I have no faith in Democracy anymore

i have faith in democracy among an educated and self-aware populace.
History has shown that the more you limit voting on a country, the worse it does.
history has shown that youre an idiot
ugh im sorry kirby ive just been very irritable today
yes, however i dont think democracy can create an educated and self aware populace
It might depend on the type of democracy. America's democracy is different from other (namely, European) countries.
this is possibly true. i do think it is feasible under a level of democracy the america/most of europe has though, but that would take leftists to grow some balls and stop being dumb. so probably not going to happen.
Public education isn't the way to a more informed citizenry
Representative democracy is a terrible idea in a capitalist system
i agree
what are you talking about
What would you rather have then?
And Rayne do you agree with me or Celery
i have a rule of thumb that if i dont quote somebody im talking to the person right above me
Well it was a short time frame so I thought maybe you got ninja'd. But our public education is really shitty and compulsory education in America's society today more apathetic about the world than anything
actually i dont think democracy would be a bad thing in a socialist country with a market based economy but the freer the market of a country gets the more pointless democracy becomes
like fuck america seriously. STOP TALKING ABOUT AMERICA. AMERICA IS NOT THE ONLY COUNTRY WITH A PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM.
AIBHJNMLVDFO RAYNE MAD
America is obviously where I was talking about the entire way through this thread. And sure it might work elsewhere but compulsory state education doesn't work here
no you were obviously talking about america, i just want people to shut the fuck up about america.
Either no capitalism or direct democracy. Representative democracy would be pretty decent in a socialist system, but it just goes nowhere in capitalism
direct democracy in a capitalist economy might be worse. im not even sure how it would work.
With direct democracy in capitalism, it may not be my preferred option, but shit would get done rather than progress being halted by politics and corruption
