That itself would actually be anti-democratic though. Plus, who decides who's fit to run or not? You're just opening the system up for corruption and manipulation by allowing something like that. |
No it won't. Democracy must be protected from anti democratic action. Like a person running on the platform of ending future elections shouldn't be run. You can't let a monarchist run either or a fascist. It's not about fit to run, it's about those that seek to overturn democracy. If you don't, your democracy won't survive. Just look at how orban did it, hoe bolsonaro wants to do it, how erdogan did it and how modhi is doing it. You are dooming your democracies if you let it happen. And that's what's happening in the US. Anti democratic people are running and destroying US democracy.
It's the same thing as allowing intolerant people for tolerances sake. You think being tolerant of nazi ideology will end well? Systems can't survive absolutism and as many have said "tolerance requires us to be intolerant towards intolerance". As many Americans have learned, many systems require the goodwill of people in power to do their job. Systems cannot be removed from the people in them. Democracy won't function if Anti democratic forces are allowed to destroy it from within. You can't have freedom without restricting some freedoms from some people.
Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also
