       Of course democracy is disappointing. That's the design. Gently disappointing everyone trying chart a middle course. Leaving everyone not entirely satisfied, because resources are finite & everyone wants different things.Good democracy is mildly unsatisfying. That is the point of it. It's the least shitty system we have.Throwing mildly disappointing democracy away, for not being perfect, is insanity.No #democracy is terrible for nearly everyone, that's the main feature. #politics

       I can't think of a better system than democracy either, but I do think it should be moderated to avoid truly terrible people getting into power, such as fascists.I think some things, like life and freedom, are more important than democracy.

       @Hyolobrika @ArtBear That's why we have a constitutional democracy: the constitution lays out a bunch of things the government can't do, to limit the damage possible by a bad leader.
