“A functioning, robust democracy requires a healthy, educated, participatory followership, and an educated, morally grounded leadership.” The US is lacking all of that right now

Democracy can't survive if politicians or political parties don't know how to lose. Democracy is for losers, it's a system that allows losers to come back and fight another day, if the losers denied they have lost the system can't endure.

Every society regardless of culture of technology needs doctors, and doctors will always be intelligent, and *should* always have core values like harm reduction, compassion, logic and integrity. It’s also in their interest for society to be run properly and to avoid war at all costs for obvious reasons. Maybe the world would be a better place if only doctors voted. As long as anyone can become a doctor if they want to without economic barriers, race, gender and so on.

There is only a functioning democracy if the democracy demands a competent, free education system. We know now, painfully obvious, democracy without a functioning, competent, free education system is something else in disguise.

the uncaring part is a contributing factor to everything else you mention about mob ruling. they truly do not care about selecting the best option. they are so full of themselves that it inconveniences them a lot to read (or listen) and think. their TV shows or going out is more important than not screwing their future
