Political systems Why I do not like the American style of "democracy"
I do not like the democracy that is practiced in America and other countries that follow their system.

It is a flawed system. 

It does more harm than good. 

It gives the impression that the people can choose their government. In practice, they get the same kind of government, although the elected people may change. 

They generally get corrupt and incompetent leaders. 

The corrupt politicians like their "democracy". They know how to play the system to their advantage. They know how to win elections. 

After they get into power, they know how to use their power to their advantage, and to benefit their political sponsors. 

They know how to change the law, to entrench their power.  They pass laws that do not respect justice and honesty. 

There is another system of "democracy", not practice by America and its followers, that produce better leaders and better economic and social outcomes for their people. 

Hehehe. I shall not say what is this better "democracy" here. OK. I shall describe it in a separate post.
