No, democracy is basically always mob rule and every historical democracy was unstable. The institutions are working actually, if you look at what the average person actually wants. It’s that what those people want is to prevent the extreme minorities from getting their way, and this understandably upsets those extreme minorities of the left and right.
- PartiallyTyped 3y agoChoose, either it's mob rule, or extreme minorities. The two are mutually exclusive. The people don't get what they want, e.g. republicans blocking things that were voted BY THE PEOPLE on the ballot. There's of course all the gerrymandering as well, further preventing people from being adequately represented, and of course, let us not forget all the effort spent on making it harder to vote in the first place.
