It really comes down to: do the citizens want a collective socially responsible leadership or an individual rights dictates all leadership. Socialism or Libertarianism. You cannot have a system that continuously waffles from one to the other, like the Americans are trying to do. The problem with ‘democracy’ as it is practiced in American society is that they insist on using a two-party (socialism vs libertarianism) adversarial system that keeps battling back and forth, winner take all. In that system, the ‘election’ only determines which side gets to tyrannize the other side. No matter who wins, the other side feels threatened by ‘terrorism from the other side’s dogma’.
