Do you have any idea how long senators serve? Racist, violent, war hawk, regressive leaders stay in office in the USA for decades. How about family dynasties? The number of years American and European democracies are managed by family dynasties is terrible. And then of course you have fascists getting elected to high office in Italy.

All the evidence shows that Western democracies are going to end in violence.

Interestingly, Cuba has more democracy than anything ever experienced in the North Atlantic. Because the point isn't to use democracy to get representation, it's to use democracy to change society in the interests of the people.
