This has a real “democracy is bad, actually” vibe to it that I see expressed a lot on the right of the political spectrum (Tim Poole and the others taking Russian money to pump out pro-Republican bullshit).
Is this infecting the left now too? Or are you a conservative?
I wouldn’t want to get into it more deeply if I were you either.
People reading this thread should ask themselves why far right talking points which are literally anti-democratic are making their way here. Why can’t this account just answer a simple question honestly?
People making these comments should come with their ideas for what is better than democracy. Who but the governed should choose their government?

I think it may be a mistake to avoid listening to positions other than your own because you internally categorize the sentiment as the enemy.
It’s mildly inflamatory to say that critiques of a system are equivalent to “an infection” and can stifle reasonable discussion
I didn’t say anything about not listening to it. In fact, I read it and engaged.
I’ve listened to it on the right too which is how I know those people who’ve been saying it in the past.
Frankly, your response makes so sense.
I’m interested to know who, if not those governed, should be choosing how their government runs.
if you can’t say after reading my comment, i would just move on 😂
