- hulitu 5y agoNo. The point of democracy is to spread "democracy" to other parts of the globe so that they can be cheaply exploited. It has nothing to do with the people of the nation. The only masters are some of the big corporations.
- voakbasda 5y agoYou don’t really expect the people to take responsibility for the actions of their government, do you? That would require us to have some authority to change the status quo, or be able to hold the government accountable. Neither option seems remotely possible, based on everything that I have seen in the last 40 years.
- jevoten 5y agoThe point of democracy is to try to make it represent the people. Often, it fails.
