MODERATORS
My response is always is it not human nature for many to be violent towards others and yet few would say that's ok. The answer is simple, humans are fundementally more then their base instincts and desires. If humanity were nothing more then animals then society as we know it would have never formed.
Based response, even though I wouldn't say I'm a communist, more social democratic
Socialism is inherently democratic
Yeah you realize that Democracy is much larger than the United States of America. Many democracies around the world, which have been historically regarded as stable democracies, don't have a separate election for their top leader. That's a pretty American thing. Most democratic top leaders are selected by the ruling party, not the electorate. It's just assumed that your vote about who is top leader is rolled into your vote for your local representative for that level of government.
The rest of the world looked at that and thought 'and? What's the problem? We do that shit all the time and it works out.' Granted most democratic world leaders don't have as many powers granted to them as the United States grants their President but still. In a bigger perspective it's not a big deal.
