I’m not a political person but here goes: Is democracy actually crap in practice?

For sure the equality and freedom of it sounds impressive until the awkward fact raises its head that people might be voting on legislation and legal practice they may not have the mental capacity to understand or a bias that makes them blind to the issues.

Should people pass a qualification to give them a voting right or should everyone get to vote no matter how stupid, unhinged, racist or religious they are?

Thoughts?

And I’m talking about the world, not America so any grubby memes or replies promoting one party or another will be deleted as quickly as it’s received.

Firstly. AMERIKKKA is not a true democracy. The founders made sure of that when they amended the constitution and created judicial the branch. America has always been controlled by the elites. From 1776 to 1870, only white male landowners were allowed to vote. Blacks and women were denied basic rights. Now here we are 250 later and America is still controlled by the same two parties. The media controls the outcome of every election .
