Do you think democracy is a good idea? Why or why not? 1/
I ask because pretty much everyone I interact with seems to self-identify as on the side of democracy, but a lot of people express cynicism about the electorate and the public’s capacity to participate in reasoned deliberation. the most straightforward implication would be democracy is a bad idea. 2/
Do you support democracy anyway on purely negative grounds? (i.e. “it’s the worst system except for all the others that have been tried from time to time”) 3/

@interfluidity I took the cowards way, not concerning myself with labels. Democracy, schmehmocracy. What do words mean if being kind is twisted to mean exploitation?
A good idea would be to try, try what is determined by those that try to understand.
