where you have democracy you will naturally have equality
lol

Democracy is the least likely system to provide equality. How can there be equality when having more votes makes your demographic more powerful? Don’t give me your bull**** alternative definitions for democracy. It’s when people ****ing vote. Everyone knows that.

Democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep deciding on what's for dinner.

That’s fine. Just stfu about anarchism and communism and ****. You are as wonderbread liberal as Chula. I’d respect that if you owned it.

Except the wolf knows how to trick the 3 lambs into thinking they're the 3 little pigs who can build that brick house when the wolf has a jackhammer.

it is the predominate European tradition of anarchism

see: Catalonia

decentralized but democratic rule

Except in the end you're willing to settle for Clintonism so long as it sounds prettier. And it will always sound prettier so you'll always be willing to settle, so what do your principles even matter?

Thinking that it's one of the best things that humans can do is a pretty ****ty way to look at life.

Inb4 goof is baffled by simple concepts and tries to make it out to be the fault of others.

I voted for someone more liberal in the primary

someone like that wasn't up for election in the general so I picked the lesser of two evils that could reasonably win

this is not a difficult concept

Bro, there will always be a lesser of two evils. That's what democracy is. That's what keeps it functioning. That's why it's awful.
