One of the most toxic elements of democracy brain is viewing 51% as victory and 49% as defeat.

    That’s really only the case under incredibly undemocratic systems like the US’s that don’t support more than two parties or proportional representation.

    The problem isn’t democracy, the problem is undemocratic systems that just call themselves democracies.

      No, I mean all liberal, representative democracies. I would actually call those “undemocratic”.
