Pre democracy, there was an argument against the masses voting because they were unsound minds, unqualified to know what was best for a country.

Reading politics posts here add substance to that concern. Every slack jawed idiot has a vote to cast. And that’s possibly why things are as they are.

Perhaps democracy has had its day.

@Mistakesmakeus We have a representative democracy. And a Bill of Rights that defines and protects the citizen's rights and civil liberties.

@badminton Depending on who gets to define them and whom they want them to apply to.

@Mistakesmakeus Oh, get out of here with that bullshit. A republic is just a representative democracy.
