Socrates makes a great point. Only the uneducated should be allowed to vote.

I feel like most people fail to appreciate just how often the best option is still really bad.

Funny mustache man said something similar.

And Socrates lived in a real, albeit limited, Democracy. Not this modern sick joke where I'm "represented" by an Epstein Islander along with 70k others.

Aristotles approach was more constructive. He listed all forms of government, pointing out the flaws and strengths of each one. Then he proposed not to have a single form of government, but to have multiple form each balancing the other out. The US Constitution tried to construct such a governmen...

Good point. It's very easy to sway ignorant people one way or another, politics feels more like the most popular reality TV show now.
