Lets face it; Democracy is not perfect, but its preferable to any other form of Government.

Democracy is not perfect, but neither is any other form of Government. Nevertheless, Democracy is Government "of the People", "by the People" and "for the People". No other form of government gives 'the People' at the Bottom of Government, the privilege of 'ascending' to the 'pinnacle of Power'. Its the 'Peoples Government'. However, great care must be exercised in designing the means by which any one Individual may ascend to power. Of course, a Government is as 'proper', practical, and 'Just', as the People who 'run' it. Some Individuals believe the 'vocabulary' of Government and, of elections, has lost its efficacy. That may be the case, but that vocabulary cannot be 're-established' from the terms and vocabulary of the economy. There's a reason for that; it being, that the economy runs on 'profits', and not on 'political' principles of Freedom and Equality. Freedom and Equality of the Individual, 'organizes' and 'structures' the 'condition of togetherness' that the Peoples live in. That 'condition of togetherness' is a National condition, not a State or 'local condition'. Democracy is not a State or local function only. Its National in scope and totally inclusive. To assume that States have a 'privilege' to set up there own Government is O.K., but a State cannot set up a Dictatorship form of Government. The reason for that is that the U.S. Constitution governs the 'condition of togetherness on a National scale. States must also comply, and not be antagonistic, to the provisions of the Constitution of the United States. A Democratic form of Government, governs the whole Nation, and all the States must also comply. A Democracy depends on 'its People'; other forms of Government depend on 'their Ruler'.
