Go read the OP again, obviously some of you are stupid, and don't comprehend the fact, i wasn't whining, I'm pointing out a curious fact, that Democracy was created with intent of cultural backed Political, Philosophical, and Scholastic understanding by the mass. - A comparison between the Origins, and the modern practice, and how it can be seen that this is NOT how democracy was intended to be practiced.
None of you fat boys can sit here and tell me, we are using democracy as it were intended, and that Modern day people were the demographics intended by the creators of Democracy.
Also, none of you have disputed the fact, that through visual stimulus people are controlled, and in turned the "Democratic" Process is control, Culture is promoting laziness and ineptness, making it all the more easier for Politicians, and Bias/Partisan sponsored medias, to control the out of the Democratic processes.
Before that, gangs/family would hired to bully people into voter fraud, and voter fraud was so common that some people voted more then 20 times.
THUS DEMOCRACY PRIMARILY AMERICAN HAS FAILED.
Christ, i thought it was pretty much out there.
The issue isn't if it goes the right or wrong way, Democracy fails, it is CURRENTLY the best system, but it's competition doesn't really even compare, in turn it's still not being used as intended.
I'm saying either 1 of 2 things.
Using democracy as intended, which is IMPOSSIABLE due to the Cultural gap between Modern practice, and Classic intentions.
Or a systematical forging of a new Government with Democratic inspired power balancing, and one that span any cultural gap..
Because lets fact it, with Technology comes large changes to culture, and with the recent boom that will continue, our culture will become even more out of tune with understanding the Political mainstream, allowing for the populace to be even more mold able to any one person's agenda.
"Or a systematical forging of a new Government with Democratic inspired power balancing, and one that span any cultural gap.."
thats what our Constitution was designed to be over 230 years ago... and pretty well describes our government. yes, theres people not happy with parts of it; but its still has democratic inspired balancing, its stable and we're one of the richest nations in the world, and the most powerful militarily. overall, a pretty resounding success.
when our fore fathers created the current form of government in the US, they had no intention of creating what they had in Athens long ago. Just because "democracy" in america is different from what it was in Athens, doesnt mean it failed; its called progression. also, the idea that the masses in ancient athens were more educated then the masses in modern day US, is a joke.
can the US model be improved? yes. is it a failure? absolutely not. if you have an idea on how to improve it and not just some idealistic rant, we're all ears.
