Wayne -
I didn't say democracy was perfect. :-)
Just to be sure, you DO realize that the United States of America is not, has never been, and was never meant to be a democracy. It IS, and was intended to be, a constitutional, representative republic, of limited central powers.
As a form of government, democracy is utterly unstable, and always has and always will degenerate into tyranny and eventual collapse.
From day one, the US Presidency was designed to be a weak and restrained executive, elected by electors appointed by the legislatures of the several states.
From the Constitution of the United States of America, Article II, "...Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives..."
