For the past 6 years, I have voted in every federal, state, and local election. Not a single person I voted for ended up winning. So how can I say that I am "represented" in democracy, when how I vote makes absolutely no difference? Democracy doesn't mean representation, it just means the loudest group gets representation
>>
>>131835667

> the loudest group

You mean the most numerous/the most organised. You can even stand yourself if you are charismatic enough to garner any support. Democracy isn't perfect but it does give you a voice, its just that most people dont agree with that voice. Now thats due to all the propaganda but that works both ways. If you are going to criticise at least offer an alternative or youre just making things worse.

It's a way to appease the masses by making them feel as though they have a say in politics.

Are you an idiot? Do you want the president to be 45% Trump, 45% Hillary, 10% every other party? You were represented, it's just your candidate lost.

I've never voted for a winner either. This is exactly why muh democracy is not an inherent good. Rulers rather should have interests aligned with the people. In democracies those interests are antagonistic to the people in most cases

>>131835667
You aren't. That's the Con. No one is represented except for people who are literally represented in government, as in, they have a person there advocating on their behalf.

You do not have that. Nor do I. This is "Democracy" which we sent millions of good Americans to go fight and die for around the world.

We live in an AIPAC-controlled country. We exist to cover up the murder of the German People in WWII.
>>
>>131836861

Representative democracy and direct/participatory democracy are still both democratic systems you retard. Some people would rather elect a representative than have to spend half their week going to various votes etc. Even then they dont have participatory democracy in Switzerland just citizen initiated referenda. Also having no one leader a disaster and if Switzerland was a real nation instead if a glorified banking territory then this would come back to bite them guarunteed.

QUELLE HORREUR!

Surely it should be the (((richest))) or (((most educated))) that gets the representation! Or the country should be led by the (((right family))) or (((religious leader))).

Seriously, what's your fucking point spaz? Your opinions are deeply unpopular so representative republics don't work? That's your fucking angle? KYS, sweetie.

Democracy is a meme to keep peasants organized snd stable.
>>
>>131838154

Democracy means 'rule by the people', if the rulers are largely chosen by the people then you live in a democratic society. There is no 'democracy' in the same sense as there is a 'Republic'; in an ideological clearcut sense. To be a Republic you need to elect your own head of state, Australia is a Constitutional Monarchy not a Republic like the USA you pleb, and both of our socieites are democracies.

If the peasants feel as they have a say in anything then they are lees likely to destabilize for increased rights and representation.

Democracy with its lies of completing freedom keeps plebians in line.

>>131838498
If you give a sense of power to the peasants they are less likely to go after the true sources of power, control over currency, banks, corporations, and such, there is no democracy because there is no equality of will, those with capital will dominate their will over those without.

To add to this, Ironically, pure Democracy is tyranny, our founders were geniuses, thus our republic. Federalism is the most important aspect to our republic, you just do not understand. Federalism is the enormous check and balance system, coupled with a natural law based constitution that must be maintained. Stop being a envious bitch and educate yourself.
>>
>>131838992
What you hear on the media is the will of a few hundred men, what you hear out of politicians is not tge will of random citizens but the will of a few hundred.

So if you call 100 people dominating everything and having soleky their wills being the options if tge state, while YOU can not decide anythibg except for the democratic makers wills, then you must be retarded.

I do not cotebas the will and path of state is constant to democratic makers wills regardless if anyone cotes or not.

I'd like mass immigration to be implemented by all parties, and the difference in policy between them to be; how much do we favour the banks, more socialism.

Regardless if anyone votes the democratic makers continue their unchanging plans.

My will is irrelevant in "democracy" the only will that matters is who owns the capital.

The US is not a democracy, the people are not represented and anyones vote simply means fealty to the state.
>>
Democracy is just a way for the ruling class to take away any pretext for challenging their rule. All they need to do is pull a few levers to funnel votes/put the right candidates/obstruct/bribe/etc and they still get the result they want while maintaining the illusion of legitimacy that makes revolution impossible. Even with Trump, when all the standard shuffling tactics failed, they still put him in a position where he's more or less forced to be a token neocon asshole to get anything done.

Just picture trying to elect a government in the super democratic United States that would be conciliatory, hell neutral towards Russia, say a Rand Paul minded government. It's physically impossible.

"No one votes"
Thus the state has no orders and wills to represent?
No it continous doing everything it is meant to be doing, enslaving the world to international finance, supporting israel, cracking down on anti semitism which is really anti colonialism, and wirking to exterminate tge white race.

No one voted so whos doing this?
The ones who disregarded wills of 300 million and are the true runners of the state that is unchanging regardless of anyones votes.

Democracy gives you the option to choose who you want. Not the power to make who you want win. You are one person, in a country of millions. If you wanted your choice to be decisive, hope to reincarnate in the ruling line of North Korea.

When the population gets to stupid heights (300 million for example) deomcracy stops working. You can't have a "winner" in power that has 100 million people that loathe them and expect it to work out.

USA isn't a democracy either, it's an oligarchy.

>I don't understand democracy.

Here's a redpill few people seem to understand that easily explains why democracy seems to work and not work:

>In a group of 10 people your vote is worth 1/10, 10%.
You feel like your vote mattered and you feel like you can influence other voters directly, which is true.

>In a group of 1000 people your vote is worth 1/1000, 0.1%
This is small organizations level. You likely still feel like you have influence, you can get a group together and you make your case to the rest of the large group with flyers or emails.

>In a city of 1 million people your vote is worth 0.0001%
This is about where people stop feeling connected to the results and stop feeling like anything they do matters. If you're connected politically or you have millions to use for ads or to bribe politicians you still wield a lot of influence, but it costs more money and time.

The more you increase the number involved in democracy, the worse it works, because each person has less of a say and therefore feels (and is) less represented. This is why there's a lot of convergence on both sides of the political spectrum now when it comes to populism; reacting against authoritarian governments left and right, feeling like you've lost a meaningful choice..
>>
>>131841160
1 vote literally does not matter. My country still becomes cucked. I would rather have a dictator or monarch in charge who has a vision for a great nation, and it's either his way or go fuck yourself.

I'll take my chances with that instead of politicians making empty promises and pandering to vatious groups to get their support, and I'll definitely take that over to the retarded delusion that I, personally, have an actual say in the system. Democracy and its variants are shit.
>>
>>131835667
America is a republic, not a democracy. Democracy is mob rule. We live by the constitution, not by what a bunch of imported illegals decide what they think is best for the country.
