There's something to be said for the statement of "the tyranny of democracy."
Put more power into the hands of the common people and you end up with someone like Trump as a nominee.
Don't you think in a weaker country with more classism like Venezuela, that if a Trump were elected, that you'd end up with something like this?

- tptacek 10y agoVenezuela had a constitution. The author of this piece is mourning its ineffectiveness. What's important is the continuity of the constitution.
