"Great" "Essential" whatever, its all irrelevant to the point that we were discussing. Government is still a coercive monopoly even when it is a democratic republic.

You seem to have a program running in your head that goes something like this

If <criticism of government in general or criticism of government actions when the democrats are in control>

Then display "Democracy is <great, essential, or some other positive comment about democracy>

End.

The program runs frequently but usually with no relevance to what is being discussed.
