Why?

Democracy does pretty much what it sets out to do.

Every president of the US went to either Yale or Harvard and raised more money than their oponent?

The same can be said for every other democracy?

Well, the United States truly isn't a democracy, so...

Not a pure democracy at least.

Representative Republic, would be the fairly accurate.

Um, no, no I'm really not. If the United States was a pure democracy, you would be down at your city hall right now voting for every action that the State takes. You cannot compare a representative Republic with a democracy of olden days, where everyone is equal and has a voice, because that simply isn't true.

A true democracy would end in mob rule, hence the democratic republic. On a side note, get pissed commie!

Some people think of mob rule as a good thing.

It also ends in majoritarianism. We experience that in the US now.

The US has a one party system. That party is "power and control" and the only thing that matters is who's in it and who has it.

How does that relate to majoritarianism?

Not much. It's a big word that no one understands. I'm not even going to look it up on wiki, but I'll submit to your superior inetellect. tintintagle. Tell your socialology prof to give you a B!

You can't figure out what the word majoritarianism might mean?

No. I'm just saying it's a bit snarky and only used to boost your own ego. It easy to use words that no one understands, it takes more skill to convey your thoughts via a vocabulary that is acessible to the everyman. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm sure you use that word in your day to day coversations. My bad.
