No it's very vulnerable to exploitation by demagogues, case in point the election of blumpf, a literal t.v. clown who abused women.
Caleb Ross
Can't you see how good it works?

Democracy has its flaws, like most systems, but in the end I would say it is.
It does however require a robust education system, and a well built industrial base to work properly, such as in the west, else the people are easily influenced by crappy ideas and obvious lies.
However once you got that? Your good, because the people voting want the best for themselves, and to get on their side the gov needs to do things they like.
Building of infrastructure, schools, hospitals, better social care benefits, ect.
Its just effective to do those in a democracy, far moreso than in a dictatorship where that is entirely for the benefit of the system as a whole, instead of a benefit for the people.

The "Great American Experiment" proves one thing. Executive power always leads to tyranny.

>No it's very vulnerable to exploitation by demagogues
As opposed to the person who just controls everything and is exploitation by default because you live in a dictatorship where 1 person controls everything and not a democracy
People love to talk shit about democracy, but can’t provide anything better.
Cooper Davis
Democracy is a moral, intelligent, and informed white man being screeched at by 29 drug addicts, niggers, single mothers, sex traffickers, and illiterates while a jew watches from the sidelines while rubbing his hands.
Matthew Bailey
the ancients had their governments periodically purged by dictators
they knew that democratic systems are vulnerable to corruption

Western European countries, the United States, Australia and are not democracies. We elect representatives but they do not represent us.
Democracies existed in Ancient Athens, the early American settlers. It possibly exists in a very limited form in Kurdish Rojava and Switzerland. Note that these are direct democracies where citizens vote directly on policies instead of voting for shills every election cycle.
>Is democracy a good political system?
I think it's a good system but with limitations. It's good at solving immediate existential threats and allows a relatively small civilization to punch above its weight militarily, culturally, and in other ways. However it needs a relatively intelligent population that's capable of reasoning. This means you should restrict women from voting.
Athens for example managed to accomplish far more than modern meme fake-democratic nation states.
