Government and Nations
All nations have governments. In a democratic nation such as the US, the government is responsive to the majority desires of the citizens of the nation. That being the case, how can government be separated from the people of the nation? If you say “Government is the problem, not the solution” are you not saying the will of the majority of the citizens is the problem, not the solution? If the will of the majority of the citizens of a nation are not the solution as to how that nation should act, what is?

The majority is not always right nor the best option – it is the best compromise.
Jurgens is correct. The theory of democracy is based on he idea that in the long run decisions will favor those options that will satisfy the majority and that extremes will cancel each other out.
