Judging by the comments on these and similar threads, it seems that the biggest danger to democracy is voters who have different ideas about how the country should be run.
The fundamental danger, of course, is money. Everything else is noise.
- username90 6y agoMoney being able to influence elections is called corruption. Money isn't a problem in itself, corruption is. Just giving up and saying that money will always have this kind of influence and that all politicians will always be bought and there is nothing you can do is how you ensure corruption festers and grow.
- gedy 6y agoThe challenge is, aside from a few people, most are perfectly happy with money, censorship, etc if it helps their side.

The voters experimented with something unusual for a few years, then switched back to something more familiar, they'll get more chances to choose over the coming years. In fact it's precisely because democracy worked so well that the MAGA core lost their shit and tried to over-rule it. They failed, democracy won, a few extremists are dead or will end up in prison and it's time to move on. I just feel bad for the cop who lost his life, and his family.
