From what I understand, the military high command supported Yoon even after the assembly voted down martial law. If that’s true, didn’t he have everything to go through with the coup?

    People get to choose but the guy on top gets to pick the options.

    Managed Democracy!

        I do struggle to feel that representative democracy is true democracy, because it usually struggles to represent what people really want.

        In the age of computers we should be voting for everything as a collective.

          Should we? At that point, the real decisions are made by those with the most charismatic performance.

          What pure democracy assumes is that the competent decision will be more popular.

          Eh… maybe not. People can get tricked into voting for stupid policies. California literally voted in a proposition that classify “gig app” (like Uber or Doordash) workers as “Independent Contractors” rather than “Employees”, because of a lot of propaganda.
