Democracy is the only way

not just any brand that you disagree with

Democracy gay RT

If you have a ship, you want the best captain to steer it

you dont want a man who, using his charisma, gets elected to be captain

Society isn't a ship

no, it's not, it's much more complicated than a ship

exactly my point

democracy is trash

you want the best leader, not one who got the crowd's favoer

That's why it can't rely on a single man's abilities

*favor

who says a single man rules?

A king has assistants

a fuhrer has his cabinet

a tzar has his regional councils

it's a completely simplistic view of fascism

to think "one man" rules

Having a majority rule can be a problem because the minority is not as well represented

The question is not about if a single man should be allowed to rule (though certainly he shouldn't) but about how do leaders gain their power

Or sometimes the minority is way over-represented. @KGals1

Well, the (((minority))), in that case.

Hello

All the people who belong to that 'majority' aren't all the same, they obviously differ in their views

Or just minorities in general.

@Advocatus Diaboli I would certainly say gaining power just because people want you in power is not a legitimate source

What

@Fuju I’ve seen more people flip out due to someone mentioning someone’s natural pronouns to their preferred pronouns.

How else can you ensure the mutual trust between the leadership and the people?

If you want what's best for your health, a candyman is worse than a doctor. Yet you like the candyman more, he offers you colorful treats and sweets. The doctor is scary and will hurt you

you will vote for the candyman

not the doctor

And the gender freaks are only a small portion of the population.

but your health will decrease

Yeah

And then you'll learn from your mistakes and vote for the doctor

ha

yeah

certainly shown in practice

right?

"learn from your mistakes" is not a good justification for an electoral system.
