Frank Quednau on Nostr: Protecting a #democracy against its own electorate is kind of…conceptually broken. ...
Protecting a #democracy against its own electorate is kind of…conceptually broken. Is there a solution out there that makes sense?
When the majority is not interested in democratic processes, the logical conclusion is their unwinding.
Of course, getting them back on is much harder, but that’s a different story.
And sure you can ask why the majority is not interested in such a situation - clearly we failed at educating the current and future electorate.
But what’s done is done.
