All the elites think the same way, especially on the left. I agree with them. Democracy is a joke. The difference between them and me is they pretend to believe in it. Voting is a useful opiate for the masses, and keeps us from realizing it's all a sham and revolting.
Naturally I'd prefer a government that respects individual liberty as much as possible, but honestly I don't really care what system is in place for choosing leaders - as long as everyone is aware of the rules and has to play by those rules. (that's a republic in more words, right?)
But they'll set up a system that looks fair and then break the rules to get what they want. That's not the exception, that's their standard operating procedure. We might as well have a dictator if that's the way it's going to be.
