Facts dont care about your feelings.

True democracy would be filling at least one branch of government with randomly selected citizens. Career politicians are psychopaths and don't represent us.

So jury duty on steroids?
- More like reasonable term limits.
  
  Two terms for each position seems reasonable so you can be asked to continue or asked to leave. This allows you to run on a policy, implement it and then fix it or things that need to be tweaked and then get out.

Democracy is incompatible with power concentration. Excessive wealth easily translates into power, thus, it breaks the balance of any democracy.

There's also a saying that "Democracy cannot exist while people are hungry", because a common complaint is that "poor people vote with their stomachs".

And rich people with their wallet.
I don't see what makes these things incapable of being present at the same time as democracy.

Seems like these statements are based on feelings, not actual reasoning.
- Let me use an example. Let's say you're my partner, and it's movie night. I give you a choice between two movies: Star Wars, and Harry Potter. However, if you choose Harry Potter for movie night, I will actually break both your hands with a sledgehammer.
  
  I say I'm giving you a choice, but do you actually have a fair choice?

"Plutocracy" is the term for "Financial Oligarchy" BTW. Worth knowing the term if you live in the U.S. since that's kinda what we have here these days :/

Thanks for the term! Made finding a good page for understanding it (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plutocracy) much more simple! Greatly appreciated :D

Where are all these "wah not meme :'(" types when it's stupid fashy shit? 🤔

What's with Dale Earnhardt and political memes. The guy was as Confederate Irrc

He literally scraped a Confederate Flag bumper sticker off his pickup truck when a Black Woman told him why it was offensive to her. Dude was capable of listening, empathy, and change, something we need alot more of in today's day and age.
I've seen plenty of terrible Facebook memes where they changed the words in Peanuts comics into political propaganda. If they can make Snoopy a racist then we can retcon Dale into a socialist.

A technocracy is a type of oligarchy and is compatible with democracy tho

i guess, but only as much as any other oligarchy. you can have democracy where the only people who can vote are people with doctorates in stem fields, or who're land owning white men, or who have their patents of nobility, or who have at least a million USD in their bank account. but really it's not particularly in keeping with the ideal that people are usually talking about when they say 'democracy'.

Tbh I think a lot more things are compatible with democracy than people think.

Lol, lmao even.
- Why?

This is not a meme.

Huh, I guess I'm a neo-Brandeisian:

The New Brandeis movement opposes the school of thought in modern antitrust law that antitrust should center on customer welfare (as generally advocated by the Chicago school of economics). Instead, the New Brandeis movement advocates a broader antimonopoly approach that is concerned with the structure of the economy and market conditions necessary to promote vigorous competition.

Capitalists hate capitalism. They don't want to compete with other firms, they want a monopoly. So it's like you're saying to the monopolists, fine, you want to do capitalism? Well then we're going to jam so much capitalism down your throat you'll shit free market competition.
