WHAT? While no system is perfect a pure democracy is certain mob rule. Checks and balances with a ban on absolute rule, allows you to hold to account the politicians. It is as much up to you to do that.
It is easier to battle politicans with free speech than it is to battle mob rule by vote.
You cannot be serious being a minority to want the absolute of majority rule. That is nuts!
