Democratic process is awful, but that is a side point

It was also welcomed.

As it created jobs.

Neither does democracy = local community

And an economy.

And again, how does that mitigate the affect the one community might have on the others?

Because democracy serves the majority interest, not the community interest

I used it as an example of the effects a dam can have.

Not as an example of building it.

direct democracy serves majority interest

Or by whom.

not all kinds

The US is technically a democracy and

there isn't mob rule here

I was just asking you what would be the punishment for such a transgression and who would enforce it?

Democracy=gay

Ur gay

go away

Don't reveal your power level Milk.

Democracy in the us allowed the opening of the borders which was then a race to who could get the most voters

That's irrelevant.

our main problem is the supreme court tbh

Sorry, but I couldn't let that stand

and the federal government

as a whole

RABBIT TRAIL @Milk

neither of which has to do with the democratic system

The federal government is reflective of democracy though.

Somehwat

Somewhat

iirc federal gun laws are unconstitutional

yet we have them

You're distracting.

@Summī Imperator, 呪い殿 what I was trying to get at, was that every one of these examples you give of industrial development hurting communities I can almost guarantee it wasn't made at the local level.

From the QotD.

You say these decisions *should* be handled at the local level though.

If we pay attention to historical context of the 1st Amendment you could make an unconvincing argument that any gun law is unconstitutional. But laws restricting certain weapons are in theory not unreasonable.

This has nothing to do with today's QOTD

And that they should have the authority to do these sorts of projects.

Yes, Zexy

I would prefer if it was completely left to states
