It works until the gravy train stops then you have a problem.

Democracy has many problems but it’s fairly robust vs discontent. Got a problem? Try to vote out the people you believe caused it. It keeps violent overthrows at bay - most of the time.

Yea the most clever part about democracy is that the system builds political revolution right into it, so no matter who is in charge the system stays.
