It's only failing now because the Democrats realized that they could just import nonwhites to vote for them.
Asher Peterson
Yes
Juan Ross
Forgot pic
Austin Morris
It was worth trying out and it's not clear where to go from here but, in short, yes.
Henry Ramirez
yes
Nathan Johnson
It is a mistake if you give women and poor people the right to vote
Asher Richardson
Yes. Look im i'm no genius, but the vast majority of the population are idiots and shouldn't be allowed to vote for leaders. Sorry, but that's just the truth. Our government should have the following people ruling over us:
>IQ over 150
>Have lived long enough to see the world for what it really is
>Have read and studied a diverse set of topics in Economics, Political Science, and the Sciences
People don't know whats good for them in reality. Most don't understand complex economics. Most of the left don't understand that evil will always exist and equality will never happen. Most don't understand that not all men are equal, some are better than others.
Ian Perry
no
monetizing democracy was.
Christopher Green
Yes
Justin Carter
No.
Affirmative action for Republicans was a mistake.
>if you lose you win
Typical conservatism.
Dylan Wood
Only land owning white males should be allowed to vote, just like how the founding fathers envisioned the country.
They never intended for everyone to be allowed to vote. Allowing idiots to vote has driven our country into the ground
Nathan Rogers
It exemplifies 2 of the main flaws of democracy, you have a multi-ethnic/racial groups voting along ethnic/racial lines and resulting in sort of a Cold Civil War where they start trying to take over institutions and make laws to dominate the other groups and you political parties that rely on the parasitic underclasses(and unmarried women) who vote for them for ever more resources which they then take from the productive citizens allowing the parasitic underclasses to reproduce while the productive classes of people stagnate under the taxes.
In America immigration was restricted to whites only with only white male land owners being able to vote but that of course took just a couple corrupt politicians and jewish-owned media companies to overthrow.
Adam Roberts
All in all its been better than Monarchy. But modern "democracies" have become so bloated we might as well just have aristocracies.

Democracy is the dictatorship of the stupid

Parker Morales
This. We need a philosopher king
Ian Cooper
why do conservashits never stop and really think about why nobody wants your ideology?
Colton Lewis
We aren’t a democracy. Idiot.
Matthew Stewart
Well Trump won and your still neck-deep in shit so maybe that's why it sucks, because your vote doesn't a whole lot when you have a bunch of unelected bureaucrats, judges, secret services as well as media and business corporations actively conspiring to make that vote as meaningless as possible.
Landon Harris
Nobody wants inalienable rights and for the government to leave people alone?
Anthony Rogers
hurr durr it was her turn. Guys if we could just tax the rich we would reach utopia.

>The people take part in the making of the laws by choosing the lawgivers, and they share in their application by electing the agents of the executive power; one might say that they govern themselves, so feeble and restricted is the part left to the administration, so vividly is that administration aware of its popular origin, and so obedient is it to the fount of power.
>The people reign over the American political world as God rules over the universe. It is the cause and end of all things, everything rises out of it and is absorbed back into it.

A better question would be how we have strayed so far
Jordan Reyes
in the words of the ancient greek philosophers, yes
Chase Ward
We're a fucking REPUBLIC you cunts.
Ayden Gray
people with more money should have more votes
that would be just
James Jenkins
Immigration to the US has never been whites only.
Mason Martinez
Adrian Watson
>why do conservashits never stop and really think about why nobody wants your ideology?
Because they're brainwashed by left wing middle class NEETS, and yeah, everybody actually wants our ideology, because our ideology is what built the economic paradise you're living in right now: the west.
Jayden Bailey
yes
Sebastian Adams
No, but continuing it is.
Leo Thomas
>Democracy!
>Republic!
>Capitalism!
The U.S. was founded as a free-market agrarian republic. It hasn't been any of those things for over half a century (or 150 years, depending on what metric you use).
Now, the U.S. is a social bureaucratic oligarchy.
Levi Peterson
This was the last thing some poor child saw
Nathaniel Martinez
Obviously.
Jacob Diaz
>for over half a century (or 150 years, depending on what metric you use)
over half a century=a number between 51 and 99
150 years=a century and a half
Julian Collins
American (((democracy))) was indeed a mistake
Shitskins needs to be ruled with an iron fist

Monarchism provides superior incentive for rulers to see their country prosper and succeed.
Colton Brown

No he's not, don't defend him. He made a dumb math mistake because your school system is failing.
Ryan Morales
This fuck. It infuriates me to no end that they will claim that democracy in fact does not work right after they get done intentionally destroying it
Jaxson Collins
This would work if it were not for the existance of the sociopath gene; which, unfortunately, will likely be the main culprit in the downfall of humanity
Thomas Adams
>Direct democracy
No
>Todays "democracy"
Yes
Enlightened absolutism with subjects formed on meritocracy is the best solution.
Landon Morgan
yes 100%.
Dominic Jenkins
>he said, with a straight face, as this exact sentence is spewn forth from his liberal prime minister’s mouth
Leftism is designed for incompetents. Educate yourself
Henry Martin
By supporting leftism you are publicly declaring yourself to be a talentless loser who requires government protection to survive
Michael Martinez
Yes
David Harris
AHAHAHHAH YOU FUCKING RETARD. TRUDEAU NEVER SAID THAT. YOU FUCKING MORON AHAHAHA HOLY SHIT KYS

This is why the UK is doomed.

Oliver Martinez
So, changeing the definition of words is now a valid form of debate?
Leo Carter
>meritocracy
Meritocracy is oppression by the patriarchy!
(Haven't you heard?)
Austin Morales
He said if you kill your enemy, they win. Didnt think I would have to bridge that intellectual gap for you but I guess libtards gonna tard
Carter Green
If you can't beat 'em, re-define 'em!
Aaron Long
this desu. pure democracy only creates dysgenics and tyranny
Ethan Johnson
We don't care about what others want
Jacob Roberts
Imagine the 2nd amendment in the hands of a country where 90% were amerimutts or niggers, the crime rate would paramount the worst shithole in africa or the middle east.
Matthew Hernandez
Remember that the constitution and citizenry was only for white men at one point...
Our democracy use to work before we fucked it up
Isaac Baker
The elites unironically want to turn us into brazil
Anthony Watson
Immigration laws prior to 1965 were designed to keep whites as a majority. Did you know America was 90% white, user?
Carson Adams
>He said if you kill your enemy, they win.
NO HE DIDN'T. YOU'RE A FUCKING MENTALLY RETARDED MORON WHO GOT DUPED BY A FAKE QUOTE AHAHAHAHHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
Julian Davis
Exactly. Also imagine a populous voting for someone who believes there's more than two genders, who will force diversity, who think open borders are our moral duty, who are against free speech, and who believe a Utopian society and equality are possible through high taxation and welfare; if you told someone years ago that a leader with these policies and beliefs has a chance of gaining power they would mock you, now it will become a reality due to an ignorant and gullible populous voting for them down to brainwashing. It truly is terrifying knowing it will happen soon in the upcoming elections in most western democracies, all you have to do is look at the UK, a country who's 'Conservative Party' are adopting leftist policies. God only knows how bad it will be when Jeremy Corbyn get's elected or any moderate left wing politician.
Democracy has failed us.
Kevin Walker
The way it is practiced today certainly is-- as a union of sovereign republics I'm not so sure. It might be better to say that federalism was a mistake.
Gavin Stewart
>Meritocracy is oppression by the patriarchy!
Not a bad thing.
Poeple should be appointed based on their merits, even if it means women lose all power.

Christopher Peterson
Push the gas to the floor and let's drive this shitshow over the cliff. Only through it crashing and burning sooner rather than later do we have a chance.
Nathaniel Hernandez
Depends really. Pure democracy leads to mob rule.
Gavin Anderson
You can trace the downfall of the western modernist tradition to Britain's decision to enter WWI. If Queen Elizabeth was still monarch, Europe would've never been thrown into turmoil over a eastern european squabble, would've never weakened their hold on the empire, nor preempted the creation of a UN-like organization to encourage decolonization, notions of equality with lesser cultures.
