Re: Question for people who like Democracy
"How about they actually try democracy in America as opposed to polyarchy?"
Because in America we believe that participatory political process is not an end in itself but is a tool for the protection of individual rights and social welfare.
We believe further that these ends are threatened by majoritarian disdain for minority rights and love of expediency and therefore we balance democratic impulses and accountability with a representative system based on seperation of powers.
Could you be more specific in your concern or was that a rhetorical question?
