this has some truth to it, but electoralism is not democracy. don’t let this discourage yourself from voting or from preferring democracy over a dictatorship or so.
democracy is not for comoensating voters being stupid. they can be, but their intelligence is completely disregarded for the systems existence. it’s about being able to swap out the person in charge without a murderous power struggle.
there’s a lot of competition for being in charge and traditionally this meant whoever was able to violently subdue their enemies first got to be in charge and had to constantly, violently suppress opposition.
this was obviously horrible and only happens in democracies when someone tries to change them back into a more athoritarian regime and it’s time for the people to rise and fight to protect their freedom.
