Democracy gets you a Donald Trump. Twice. How much democracy can you take?

    With senile grandpa you are referring to trump falling asleep in meetings or not remembering which deals he signed?

  Not sure what your point is.

    The point is that there is nothing magical or inherently virtuous about democracy. It's always been the best of a bad lot of alternatives, but that was before social media made it possible for bad-faith actors to exploit it so effectively. Giving stupid people the same political power as everyone else has always been a bad idea, and now it amounts to a suicide pact.

      I didn't say there was. The ggpp just didn't know what democracy was.
