Get the Civil Democracy mug.A form of government where citizens vote directly on laws or elect representatives to make laws for them. It, in fact, DOES work, but people are dumb and vote for the wrong people.

Get the Democracy mug.The voting section of the site was the democracy. Wrong level of abstraction. Deliberately. To steal from me.
Hym "You know that this is not what I meant by 'Democracy.' You need to stop letting him suggesting things he knows will not work to protract is own worthless existence AT THE COST OF YOUR OWN. The time he wastes is not free for you. There is a cost he is deferring when he does this."

Get the Democracy mug.Democracy is a primitive state of mind, or rather mindlessness, giving "power to the populace" from greek. By definition if there was a developed alien species on Mars, democracy would brand it as non-democratic automatically and wage a full-scale war against it till total extinction of one of the unlucky sides.

Get the DemocracY mug.Democracy hasn't retreated or gone anywhere, but it hasn't been revived in a long time either. Long before the mask and vaccine mandates and restrictions there was the post 9/11 airport security people had tolerated because they decided they valued safety over personal freedom and rights. Kids born after the year 2000 might not even have much sense of democracy or personal freedom, since they've only known the airport security and travel bans since 9/11 and the pandemic, respectively. These folks are used to accepting what they see and hear in the news perhaps, and doing what they are told by authorities rather than questioning whether the authorities know what they are talking about.
Kids born after 2000, if they have any sense of democracy at all, must think it isn't something they might have to wake up and fight/bleed to keep.
