“Democracy is a general term for a democratic government and the society within which is exists. "The democratic process" is the mechanical mechanism where the people vote, the old leadership steps down in an orderly and peaceful way, and new leadership assumes power. If you study history this is really quite a remarkable achievement. The vast majority of power shifts involve someone, usually a lot of people, dying.”

I think the point I’m trying to make is evident in what you posted. The "Democratic Process" works because if enough idiots get together they can vote an idiot into office, and because “Democracy” works the exchange of government power happens without any idiots getting killed. So what you were saying is Democracy works even when idiots vote idiots into office but it doesn’t produce a functional government capable of seeing to the needs of the many. I agree! Thanks for the exchange.
