Democracy is the most retarded system, because it's always going to align with herd mentality, so if you control the sheep, you can do what you want.

The real problem with democracy is that sooner or later people realize they can form tribes and vote themselves other people's money.

The entire concept of "political party" is inherently a fuck-up. For example we tend to think we're voting for individual candidates, but look up how "whips" work. In short, the individual basically has to vote with the party. Add to that things such as lawmakers not even reading the bills they sign, the way all kinds of crap is added to bills that are totally irrelevant and the entire shitshow shows zero resemblance to the actual will of the people.

People voting themselves money is why I'm against universal suffrage. Only taxpayers should vote, but even that is me being generous.
