   I don't like it when people say "democracy doesn't work because people are too stupid to vote." It's like, oh you're not a fucking idiot? That's why you get to decide who should and shouldn't vote?

     @Wilhelm_Apologist @professionalbigot69 @jjetty the right to kill politicians is implicit in all the other rights when read as a single document.

     @professionalbigot69 @jjetty If only the founding fathers had made a constitutional amendment that would allow citizens to tar and feather politicians who didnt keep their promises

     @jjetty More seriously, there are lots of arguments. The very best and most simple one being that when you elect a politician, he's in office for 4 years so his priority is to loot the country as much as possible in those 4 years so he can enrich himself. Politicians have no loyalty to "the people," that's why in every election all our choices are shit. The only way to guarantee good leadership is through an autocrat

     @Wilhelm_Apologist I'm genuinely curious. What would you rather hear people willing to call democracy into question say instead?
