Crossposting here as I consider X a threat to both privacy and freedom
Why do you people talk about defending and supporting democracy, but never talk about that the population has a right to vote for anti-government people? Democracy is about following the will of the people, and if the majority of the people vote to cut government, eliminate government, and start taking powers away from government rule, democracy says to follow the vote of the people.
Because we have to defend democracy or it will be eroded. We should not stand by idly as misinformation and corporate interests continue to cripple it. Just because people are voting against their best interests does not mean they are no longer their best interests.
Don’t get me wrong, I agree that sometimes freedom has to fight for itself
Are we sure this is going to happen? Or it is possible that we got convinced on that by people who don’t care about democracy, only want to be in charge?
Yes, I’m sure failing to defend democracy will result in it being eroded. Of course people can use this to their own personal advantage and claim democracy is at stake when it is not. Voters need to be well informed to discern whether those claims are legitimate, or not.
Ahh ok, I see that you’re making a specious argument.
Democracy: good. Destroying democracy: bad. Still too specious for you?
I already said that I get it. You are very clear in your specious statement and I thoroughly understand.you.
