No one criticized democracy, and it's not an attack on democracy to hold people with bad opinions in low regard.

- f1shy 2y agoThat low regard in the history has change to hate, persecution and qualified vote, to mention a few. Specially when not saying “they are wrong” but “they are incapable of thinking”. So per se both a bad thing, but I personally regard such expressions as dangerous for the long term democracy
- unethical_ban 2y agoI respect your opinion, and agree that democracy is critical. "Democracy is the worst system, other than the rest". Ideally we would have an LSAT-like exam as a qualifier to vote, but any kind of testing to be allowed to vote would be manipulated eventually by corrupt administrations. Therefore, the only remedy to an ignorant society's decisionmaking is quality public education and broad suffrage.
