Oh, no, of course. We can both agree democracy is a failure for different reasons.

Why do you think democracy is a failure? And what systems do you think should replace it?

I don't see how that demonstrates that democracy is a failure. Maybe it demonstrates that democracy in America is a failure, but that's a stretch too IMO.

Anyway, what systems do you think would be better? Specifically curious how they'd be immune to the issues outlined in those links.
