      You’re thinking of rhythm. You have it or you don’t. That’s a fallacy.

      Democracy is constantly evolving and, hopefully, improving. No system or framework is perfect, and one that stays the same will eventually expose its flaws.

      I’m still hopeful that we’ll end up better on the other side of this. Look at Germany now. Or at least a few years ago.

        In a given moment, yes you either have rhythm or you dont. In this given moment, we have not a democracy but something else. I guess you could say I dont know what it is for sure, but I do know its not a democracy.

        I suppose you could argue that people choosing to support an oligarchy is a form of democracy though, since it is majority opinion.
