Democracy sounds good, but doesn't have guardrails that a republic does. (or is supposed to ... ) It is essentially mob rule. And that is a recipe for failure. In trying to explain the differences, I ran across a dark, yet simple example that sums up democracy - gang rape.
The mob has spoken.
the 'deh' in democracy is the same root word that forms the 'deh' in demon.
the word means 'to divide' in p.i.e.
if there were a word for 'rule by demons', that word would be 'democracy'.
