But no curriculum teaching people how to choose the right candidate. Instead they thought about what factor is this x, not who is the best leader to choose.
Unlike being a pilot, there's no set standard for what a leader's skill should be. The leader you need depends on the situation you're in. There are term limits because situation changes.

Well, democracy was not designed by Greeks the way we use it today. It was foolproof and Political and economic powers were separate: politicians had to study for longer years than any other person. Once they became politicians, all their needs were taken care of by the State for life, but they couldn't have other incomes ever. So all the candidates came with basic training and cero motivation for corruption.

Mistakes can be made in a democracy. No form of government can stop that. Advantage in democracy is mistakes cannot be hidden for long as there is a space for public discussion and room for correction.

That’s why in a modern era where misinformation is so quickly and easily distributed, it doesn’t work so well. Especially when every easy info source is owned by one group.
But we don't have an alternative, do we? The PR system is time and resource consuming. It's not feasible for a country with millions of billion of people. For democracy to work, the citizens should be educated and empowered and should keep a check and balance. However what a common person needs is food, water, clothes and a home.

You say let’s fix democracy but instead of proposing a fix, the video just ends. Literally anyone can point out the flaws of democracy, that’s easy. Coming up with a solution is the difficult part.
A wise(?) man once said “Democracy is by the people, of the people, for the people….. but the people are retarded”. Just thought it was funny. In all seriousness, I love democracy, what I don’t love is our failing education system. It needs a overhaul so you get educated voters.
I hate to be that guy but if it's your third time failing you may want to try other ways to get into art. Like different schools, apprenticeships, or freelancing. It may also be worth trying for a different school that has another course you may like, and build your portfolio on the side. Tldr: you need to think critically. Do you want to keep trying for art? Do you need to change your study/working style? Doyou need to look at other passions?
"I DONT UNDERSTAND DEMOCRACY" *Alright-* Democracy is a system of government where the people have the power to participate in decision-making. The word "democracy" comes from the ancient Greek words demos (the people) and kratos (to rule). In a democracy, the people directly or indirectly decide: Laws, Policies, Leadership, Major undertakings. Democracies have come in many shapes and sizes. Each democracy is unique and works in different ways. One of the most important pillars of democracy is elections. Electoral law defines the organization of elections and how to deduct votes. The Greek model of democracy was established in the 5th century BC in the city of Athens. Athenian democracy stood out among autocracies and oligarchies, which were the normal forms of government at the time. 
I don't vote anymore, because we're at a stage where nothing matters, truth is apparently subjective, corruption is admitted to and put on display like a badge of honor, there is no accountability or repercussions for bad or even criminal behavior, this is not only in the United States but all over the world. Skip voting and prepare yourself and your family for the reset. That's more important.
@@lordofravenhall1608 i was gonna say democracy is not the best form of government, but i saw another comment explaining that democracy is not the thing we call democracy, so i retire everything i said
The analogy is flawed, because it implies someone can be an expert in running a country, but such an endeavour requires trial and error, a negative feedback, which is supplied by voting for new candidates
Democracy is flawed because it’s impossible to get experience on running your country, and when you finally do you are out. Also democracy is flawed because there is no requisite for being a politician, everyone can have a go. For almost anything else you need a certain education, a doctor with no license is unthinkable, an engineer will not get a job without his papers, but we let anyone run the country.
@@TehlItER Then maybe voters should be more intelligent about who they vote for. But the alternative to democracy is dictatorship. That's not a good idea
@@hareecionelson5875 Laws and rules are there to protect people from other people and from themselves. Asking the voters to “think” is against the very existence of law and order, if everyone could take good decisions from the start there would be no need for such institutions. There are way more alternatives to democracy than just dictatorship. You could start by putting limits to those that can vote, an IQ test to demonstrate a minimum of rationality, but democracy thrives in the stupid, so laws won’t be passed to allow only a certain part of the population to vote. Problem really start when you think the human will act in the right direction.

@@vitamingummies-pilledvirgi7000 I believe the larger issue is a very limited number of people actually vote on who represents each party.

Yeah but then they just ignore that or amend it
Unlike being a pilot, there's no set standard for what a leader's skill should be. The leader you need depends on the situation you're in. There are term limits because situation changes.

Best quote ever invented ngl
Well, democracy was not designed by Greeks the way we use it today. It was foolproof and Political and economic powers were separate: politicians had to study for longer years than any other person. Once they became politicians, all their needs were taken care of by the State for life, but they couldn't have other incomes ever. So all the candidates came with basic training and cero motivation for corruption.

This reaction op Danniel Pingue is correct.
There should be a system of promises. Meaning if a candidate officially promises something, he has a certain time frame to accomplish that.
Democracy's main flaw is FPTP voting.
But we don't have an alternative, do we? The PR system is time and resource consuming. It's not feasible for a country with millions of billion of people. For democracy to work, the citizens should be educated and empowered and should keep a check and balance. However what a common person needs is food, water, clothes and a home.

Democracy is a system of government where the people have the power to participate in decision-making. The word "democracy" comes from the ancient Greek words demos (the people) and kratos (to rule).
In a democracy, the people directly or indirectly decide: Laws, Policies, Leadership, Major undertakings.
Democracies have come in many shapes and sizes. Each democracy is unique and works in different ways.
One of the most important pillars of democracy is elections. Electoral law defines the organization of elections and how to deduct votes.
The Greek model of democracy was established in the 5th century BC in the city of Athens. Athenian democracy stood out among autocracies and oligarchies, which were the normal forms of government at the time.

The analogy is flawed, because it implies someone can be an expert in running a country, but such an endeavour requires trial and error, a negative feedback, which is supplied by voting for new candidates
Democracy is flawed because it’s impossible to get experience on running your country, and when you finally do you are out.
Also democracy is flawed because there is no requisite for being a politician, everyone can have a go. For almost anything else you need a certain education, a doctor with no license is unthinkable, an engineer will not get a job without his papers, but we let anyone run the country.

You could start by putting limits to those that can vote, an IQ test to demonstrate a minimum of rationality, but democracy thrives in the stupid, so laws won’t be passed to allow only a certain part of the population to vote.
