I recall someone saying: Eat shit, 100 billion flies can't be wrong.
Is that democracy? Or democrazy. It's really not about the decisions,
it's about the people. It's all the same what you're voting for. What
matters is that who's voting.

there is only one flaw with democracy. The average voter is too stupid and way
too ignorant.

It is easy to mock things, now try figuring out some better way to do things
than democracy.

Churchill said that democracy is the very worst form of government there is,
right after all the other forms.

Sort of like the current thing, except that instead of elections there were
tests that measure ones intelligence and knowledge and skills.

Though 'the most popular guy wins' is not democracy, it's populism.
