Democracy is a terrible form of government. What the majority wants, goes, is an abject philosophy. It is replacing the authority of the individual
with that of mob rule; some momentary, ill-informed mob. Majority decisions yield nothing of importance; there should not be majority decisions, but rather responsible persons.
The number one reason why this is bad is because the majority is ALWAYS wrong. Most people do not understand how our government should be run, they don’t understand what freedom is, what liberty is. Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner, and in a republic the sheep has a gun in his hand. In a democracy, 51 percent of the people can enslave 49 percent of the people, whereas in a constitutional republic, the minority has rights.
Our founding fathers never intended to give us a democracy, (they deplored it) but instead a Republic. The word democracy is not written once in the constitution, the bill of rights, the declaration of independence. The way that our country is supposed to be set up is that we have inalienable rights and freedoms guaranteed to us by the constitution, by the bill of rights. So that if the majority of the people in America say, “well we want people to be searched without a warrant” it doesn’t matter what 99 percent of the people want.
Our founding document protects us from warrantless searches. Democracy does not care about truth, but about what is popular, about what is in vogue and changing with the tides. The truth seekers are typically in the 1 percent, and they should be protected against the 99 percent. Democracy is synonymous with slavery and it is the worst form of government you can have because the majority rules and the government is successful in programming that majority to believe in whatever they want them to believe. So ultimately, democracy is a tool for their vicarious self-aggrandizement.
Democracy is a magic and empty word that no one ever questions. Follow what’s right. Follow the truth. Broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are there. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads to life, and FEW are there that find it.

We're (USA) supposed to be a Democratic Republic, as designed by our forefathers, where the most government is on the state level; not the tyrannical federalized government we have now...
That was the real reason behind our civil war, not the fairy tale about slavery they teach these days.

I believe a govt that is incorruptible, listens to its people, and is run for the most part by the opinions of the people, not people voted by the people would be best.
IDK what that would be called but it sounds right to me.

It would be better if we didn't need to be millionaires to run for high office.

@SW-User the problem with politics is that it's treated like a career instead of a public service...
should be a mostly voluntary/minimum wage job, would cut out most of the greed...
