RE: Tell your story #32-- My country and the systems I have come to witness

The cons of democracy!
I believe the originators of this system of government felt it was useful to society. While it guarantees human freedom and gives us the opportunity to exercise our fundamental human rights, particularly the right to vote and to be voted for, it still leaves a lacuna open.

With democracy, anyone can easily rig elections. All you need is a sweet tongue and wads of notes. Once you are able to stuff the right pockets with enough "something for fuel," you can panel beat the system into whatever you wish.

It's a burning shame that we still witness this level of unprofessionalism.

Do not embrace apathy, Yhudy. Keep pushing. You'd get there.

Thanks for your beautiful words, @ukpono.

This is coming from the place of authority. You'll help us experience what true democracy is when you get there, right?

The apathy mindset is in the past now. I keep pushing for what's better.
