Thank God for that, democracy is the worst form of governance. Nothing more than mob rule.
Erdogan is a radical islamist, and he’s trying to create a caliphate. Do you honestly believe that is better than a democratic Turkey?
Nobody uses the word democracy to mean pure Athenian style direct rule. In modern English it’s come to mean a republic based on the principle that government derives power from consent of the governed, who have the right to change or abolish it. Even Justice Scalia used it that way routinely talking about “American democracy”. Pretending the word still means direct popular votes on every decision of government just muddies the waters and wastes time and energy on pointless semantic arguments.
The subject is about “American” democracy.
