Why Democracy Has No Future Democracy leads to divison of a society and country, caused by the many political factions (partys). A better system is the JUST SOCIETY SYSTEM where everybody is working to improve that just society collectively for the benefit of all. All in the society are working towards the same one goal, the common good. In contrast: in a democracy the society gets split into many factions, and each faction works against the others. This obviously causes friction and is very inefficient, and finally leads to division of the country (secessions etc.). Modern China is a model system for such a JUST SOCIETY SYSTEM, and the past 40 years of this development prove it for everybody that this Chinese System is superior over the democratic system. We currently just witness the last days of the dying American and European democracies... R.I.P. Democracy! FU! "We all do better when we all do better" - Ed Mercer, USS Orville
The quote in the image is entirely false. Jefferson never stated it. https://www.monticello.org/research...racy-nothing-more-mob-rulespurious-quotation/
The quote is correct, whether Jefferson said it or someone else. It's a mathematical statement, and maths doesn't lie. Q.E.D.
Love all the chicken little shits here claiming we have facism and no rights in this country.....seriously....no party in power can take away constitutional rights or dominate the other because our constitution was not designed that way.... one of the few genius things our founding fathers really nailed. people talk about no freedom of speech or abortion issues but none of the freedom of speech issues have ANYTHING to do with the government.....just a bunch of pussies complaining. And abortion is still a very grey area for many in this country and the SC tried to come up with a means to make it fair but both sides screwed it up royally until trump got elected and was able to nominate 3-4 judges (to lazy to go check). You can disagree with the SC decision recently but neither Roe nor the recent one are based on any real constitutional foundations and you shoudl all really blame the red states that want to criminalize it. SC never said it was illegal, just said here states you decide. I am surprised there have not been more lawsuits to challenge the criminality of those statutues.
That quote is correct. So is Ben Franklin saying "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what is for lunch". This is exactly why we live in a republic in America and not a democracy. Here is some more quotes for Xi worshipers from the American founding fathers: “A simple democracy … is one of the greatest of evils” Benjamin Rush - 1789 "Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide” John Adams - 1814
To be clear on this point America is presidential representative democracy. Meaning the people choose the representatives who participate in democracy. If you look at the way legislation works it is a Democratic method of majority votes in either house. However, the president has the power of veto and the legislature has the power to override the veto. The republic is our form of democracy. Somebody above mentioned the bill of rights as a means to protect certain rights of the individual from the tyranny of the majority. That is also an important cornerstone in our democracy. Certain things being inalienable.

You are using both words as though there is some significnat difference to support your point and you are kind of failing on both counts. A democratic government is one where power is derived from the people. A republic is the form in which it takes place. In order to sheild government from the whims, factions and lunacy of the publci the republican form created under the constitution was developed to give the representatives of the people the power to run the governemnt yet have checks and balances and make them still beholden to the public via elections. To say we live in a republic and not a democracy is someone trying to sound smart but no idea what they are talking about really. There is no distinction storng enough to make the difference relevant to your point. In either a true 100% democracy or true 100% republic, government is still subject to the power and whim of factions (read your Federalist Papers). Our founding fathers combined those fears to form a union of the philosophies to provide balance and checks.
