My grandpa always said ... Never trust a man who can't figure out how to do something as simple as buying a shirt that fits 😂
Citizens United: Cool story bro 👍🏾
Eloquent and factual
Nowhere in the world, does democracy or representative democracy exist because ALL systems have a method by which they control who can be a representative and this method restricts the power incase a non system actor does get elected, so that the ADMINISTRATION governs. This can clearly be seen in the recent elections in France, UK, Iran and the forthcoming US elections. The majority of people feel they do not have a representative to vote for because all sides are as bad as one another. Then, as in the case of France, when it looks like an undesirable looks like they will win an election, the system colludes to ensure to limit the power of those said undesirables.
Thanks
word salading Churchill: Democracy is the worst form of government, except all the other ones.
Yes, minority tyranny is much better 😏
All you traded was majority rule for 30% of the country rule. 😂
But then those representatives are easily bought and sold by the rich, powerful, and the ones that wear tiny hats...
They all work its when you put the human element in it!!
Sounds like a move towards authoritarianism dictatorship, to me, and as a Black man that also doesn’t sound so appealing!
Splitting hairs here aren’t we?
But nobody has come up with anything better yet.
the U.S has its a fairly common misconception that America is a Democracy but in reality its a constitutional Republic.
@@aldenturner9015 you are not very smart. you just said US doesn't have a fruit it has an apple. If a system has people voting it is a democracy.
@@Yaromyr21 ok so by your logic North Korea is a democracy.
@@aldenturner9015 what are you talking about? Are you trying to say a dictatorship is a democracy?
no but you said “if the system has people voting in it, it’s a democracy” and by that logic North Korea is a democracy because North Korea has an election every 4-5 years
woah

Cliché-cliche-cliché etc. Etc. Read The Public & It’s Problems. Break out of the circle jerking. This has been my non-Ted Talk. Thanks very minimally.

Democrats - the loudest voice gets heard
He's right. Direct democracy is the worst form of government.
i can name a worst one: dictatorship
Dumb
Democracy is the worst form of government, but representative democracy is the best? Folks publishing these videos need to contextualize these with a preemptive statement because this guy seems to be contradicting himself.
It's almost like they want you to go look up the full video and inform yourself
You can guess these people are not smart. They call one of the better forms of government worst. I can point out Authoritarians ad dictatorships are far worth.
Word salad bullshit.
