Democracy "The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter." ~ Winston Churchill Democracy is a fraud because most people don't take an interest in national and international political matters, or have a sense of responsibility toward freedom and justice, and as a result they will never be able to cast an informed vote in any national election. The majority of voters can always be manipulated by the media into voting for a specific person or party, thus democracy gives the illusion of freedom, but is in reality a political system based on media manipulation; thus democracy is in reality an oligarchy where a handful of men in media and banking have near total control of the government. The oligarchy presents an illusion of freedom by giving people the right to vote for candidates that they put before them. If an outsider enters the election, they will be treated with a media blackout or a media smear campaign, depending upon the situation. Apart from that, in a democracy, there is no such thing as a free and fair election, the ruling party or parties always pass election laws favoring their own by making it harder for their competitors to get on the ballet. Not only is democracy a sham, but it also cannot work, except possibly on the local level where the elected live in the same city with the electors, and where the average person knows and cares more about local matters than they do national and international. Where does democracy actually work? Does democracy work in business? Do clerks elect their managers? Does it work in the military? Do privates elect their officers? Does it work in the medical field? Do nurses elect the doctors? Does it work in the schools? Do students elect the teachers? Just where does democracy work when productivity is a must, and promises must be kept?  Even if the mass media were fair and balanced in their election coverage, you can't expect people who know next to nothing about history, science, or current events to elect qualified leaders. It's simply unrealistic. The Results. Since the majority of people are unqualified to cast an informed vote, look at who they have elected throughout the years to rule over us. Below are just some of the most serious traitors ever to hold positions in our government. Every one of them has betrayed America by supporting unjust wars, anti-American economic agreements (free trade), open borders, restrictive gun laws, racist Affirmative Action laws, oppressively high tax rates, the Federal Reserve system, and globalism. Despite their betrayal to this country, the constitution, and the interests of our people, the voters continue to re-elect them into office. What does this tell you about democracy and the ability of the average person to cast an informed vote? Photo Name Total years in office
