    Truly, what a democracy.

      The thing about democracy is that evil can be voted in.

        It happened in 1933 in Germany, and 2016 in the United States.

        Yeah, only fools think democracy is some silver bullet to solve the world’s problems.

          There’s a relevant and oft’ cited Churchill quote to the effect that while democracy isn’t great, it’s better than any other governing system we know of.

          In other words, leave us not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

          As for why democracy is the best system, it’s simple; in theory democracy gives everyone a stake in governance. While it rarely if ever works out that way, Churchill was correct that it’s better than any other system we know of.
