Democracy

In Malaysia, it is just a memory. During the General Election 13, a corrupt political party maintained its reigns of power. This done through means of importing foreigners with immediate citizenship, phantom voters - the dead still talk and etc.

What is Democracy? I don't know, we live in Malaysia.

democracy

A form of government which America has never been in. In a democracy we would vote and popular vote would decide our president.

In our form of governemnt, a republic, we elect representatives which then get to vote with "our interests at heart".,

America is not a democracy you dumb fucks, it's a Republic.

democracy

The notion that millions who cannot order their own lives properly are somehow still at least minimally qualified to participate in the ordering of the lives of millions.

Often heard in a democracy: "Hey, where are we going? And what's with this handbasket?"

Democracy

A non existant form of government in which every citizen would have a vote on every issue.
Unfortunately impossible to exist on a scale larger then a village due to massive stupidity of general public.

We had a democracy and so we selected our leader by popular vote not electoral college.
