Democracy is the tyranny of the majority, which sounds great until something you hold dear becomes a minority opinion and you become a criminal.

The opposite is the tyranny of the minority, which is even worse for a country as a whole.

I’m not sure what your point is here, though. There are three governmental branches in the US precisely because of this. If anything, the judicial branch is the one that presents a more imminent risk to minorities.

What are you proposing? Democracy isn't perfect but it's the best political system we have come up with to date.

It's great, as long as you are in the majority. But if you're in the 49% (or less) category, then it is tyrannical and untenable. I don't know if you have a family, but if you do, do you put all of your decisions as a parent to a vote?

Sure, but you still haven't explained what the alternative is that you are proposing or how it would be better.

I never proposed an alternative. I was simply pointing out the problems with pure democracy. The critique comes from Plato.

But since you asked, I'm a monarchist.
