So then if we aren’t a true democracy then why do politicians claim we have freedoms? Personally I believe I alone as a benevolent dictator could run this country much fairer and much better than the crop of corrupt beholden politicians of both Parties that are owned and will vote for laws that favor only their benefactors.
“if we aren’t a true democracy then why do politicians claim we have freedoms?”
Freedom is not dependent on democracy. It is endangered by it, rather, though not only by it.
“Personally I believe I alone as a benevolent dictator could run this country much fairer and much better...”
Perhaps, though power corrupts. More importantly, why present as alternatives democracy so far as we have it and dictatorship? Can’t you imagine anything else, perhaps more conducive to the freedoms you mention? Like for instance the US as laid out in the Constitution.
