- simgt 11mo agoYes but winner takes all is not the only voting system in existence, and democracy goes beyond just voting once every few years.
- ekianjo 11mo ago> democracy goes beyond just voting once every few years. What else is there? You are effectively only asked to choose between bad and worse candidates at a fairly low frequency.
- simgt 11mo agoYou're equating democracy to presidential elections, that's not the full extent of it. Free press, transparency, independent justice, referendums, etc. are all part of a democratic system. Norway / Denmark / Switzerland do it better than US / UK / France for instance.
