People declare others who win stupid while claiming to to be democrats. That is hypocrisy.
While I similarly think people are stupid, I am not a fan of popular democracy. I believe my position is consistent with my belief. I am criticizing the hypocrisy of being democrat only when you get what you want.
Just like the labour party folks in the UK.
That's not hypocrisy, it is simply the best adaptation to reality that I can come up with.
And it has nothing to do with 'getting what I want', if NL will vote massively for Wilders in the next election (our local light-weight populist get-rid-of-all-Islamists-and-our-problems-will-magically-disappear politician) then I will consider that a failure of democracy.
Not because I don't get 'what I want' but because it will likely cause great harm to my country.
But you're taking issue with us on our 'high horses' criticizing it and that should be respected.
People have voted for dumb things many times in the past, in my opinion this is one of those times. Might or majority do not automatically make right.
If you 'clean up' a city or a country by extra-judicial killings that makes the cure no better than the disease.
If the country has a corruption issue the solution is not to go and kill people without due process. This is attacking a symptom, leaving the root cause un-examined and so will not solve the problem in the longer term.
