Video: Representative Democracy IS NOT Democracy – Left-Libertarian

“In 93 percent of House of Representatives races and 94 percent of Senate races that had been decided by mid-day Nov. 5, the candidate who spent the most money ended up winning…” Just soak that up for the time being.

Please dont leave stupid comments like, “democracy is the dictatorship of the majority.” I’ll address this issue in my next video. Also, don’t assume what my positions is and then argue that position.

One thought on “Video: Representative Democracy IS NOT Democracy – Left-Libertarian

  1. Democracy is not mobocracy. Mob rule occurs when people feel their government is hopelessly corrupt and take their anger into the streets. The only way to eliminate corruption and voter frustration is to allow people to vote directly or choose their own representatives.
