Democracy

[Britney]

A common system of government directed by the whims of mobs and marked by a low tolerance for basic human rights and common sense; primarily used to incrementally transition a government ruled by common law (Republic) to a government ruled by the political law of a few elite (Oligarchy).

Individuals get one vote - the ballot box. Considering a) most elections are stolen and b) the mainstream media - whose parent corporations financially contribute directly/indirectly to the campaigns of the major party system - exclude coverage of ALL viable candidates (Libertarians, Greens, Independents, Constitutional, Socialists, etc), the individual is mostly irrelevant.

Its two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner. Tonight’s menu is obvious and leftovers provide for tomorrow’s needs. Thereafter, what can the ravenous wolves do but eat each other.

The worst system, except for all the others

[Renato]

A failing system of government, which like communism works in principle but fails in practice.
ALL democracies end up serving the needs of rich interest groups and detach themselves from the populous. which inturn results in the majority of the people being governed by a minority.

Taken from the Greek demos and kratos (people and power respectively), it refers to the system of government in which the entire population effectively rules through a concentrated body which relies on the populations opinion as a source for its policies.

Something [United States of America] [politicians] claims the country is built on, while every single day they make every effort to [undermine] it.

[Kit]

Any of a number of forms of government which at their core have some degree of [decision-making] performed by a system of voting. Exactly who can vote (franchisement) often varies quite widely, and has historically in many countries been divided along lines of age, gender, religion, economic status, class, race, ethnic group, language, nationality, and citizenship. The degree of participation can also vary. A direct democracy, for example, would [in principle] have all decisions made by popular vote. Most democratic nations use some form of [representative democracy], whereby voters designate certain people or groups to make decisions for them.

[Little_Girl]

A non existant form of government in which every [citizen] would have a [vote] on every issue.
Unfortunately impossible to exist on a scale larger then a village due to massive stupidity of [general public].
