It's the most retarded form of government. the best is a government run by businessmen not military retards or liberal arts faggots

significant direct democracy like in ancient Athens where something like 500 citizens were randomly selected to serve for a short term (year with 40 meetings a year) to process all decisions for the city state

imagine that being attempted for a country of 300 million

so "democracy" has to practically be a matter of degree

Hey Meathead, the USA is a Republic not a Democracy.

America is run by businessmen. That's why it sucks. Democracy is just the story they tell you so you feel like all the things they do to you are your fault.
