"democracy is bad because it can lead to dictatorship" can't be a serious argument... Democracies are all flawed but theocracies, monarchies, oligarchies, &c.

"democracy is bad because it can lead to dictatorship" can't be a serious argument... Democracies are all flawed but theocracies, monarchies, oligarchies, &c. certainly aren't better when it comes to cult of personalities and serving their own tribes

Educated voters are a pre-condition for democracy and without that, democracy fails. It's similar to how market knowledge is a pre-condition of free markets as otherwise markets favour the biggest trader.
