Is Democracy a dead end?

[GemState]

As all democracies—including the United States become old and stagnant, the inherent and unsolved problem of democracy's political economy is exacerbated:

The old will continue to vote away the future of the young.

Democracy’s functionality might have been a strange artefact of the immense demographic expansion of the 19th and 20th centuries, where ever more young people combined with rapid technological leaps in many different fields between 1870 and 1970.

It'd be unfortunate if having a NK/Turkmenistan level of isolationism + disenfranchising women is the only way to avoid long term civilizational death, but every day that goes by vindicates the Taliban

No such thing as a democracy. Break free bro. It is all a scam to make you think you have a chance when in reality the same two party system wins over and over. It is a psyop.

America isn't a democracy, it's a one party state, ruled by intelligence instutitons and politicians are nothing but puppets to keep the population servantile.

Could the Malaysian constitutional monarchy work? Every five years, the nine rulers/Sultans elect one among themselves to be Malaysia's king through a secret ballot. The Malaysian king is just a figure head now though

America is so divided right now

Democracy doesn’t guarantee economic prosperity, never has. It simply means the people have a say.
