Lоng аnswer. Cоnsider the fоllowing pаssаge: > In the conventional view, democracy begins with voters. Ordinary people have preferences about what their government should do. They choose leaders who will do those things, or they enact their preferences directly in referendums. In either case, what the majority wants becomes government policy -- a highly attractive prospect in light of most human experience with governments. Democracy makes the people the rulers, and legitimacy derives from their consent. This way of thinking constitutes a kind of "folk theory" of democracy, a set of accessible, appealing ideas assuring people that they live under an ethically defensible from of government that has their interests at heart. > Unfortunately, while the folk theory of democracy has flourished as an ideal, its credibility has been severely undercut by a growing body of scientific evidence presenting a different and considerably darker view of democratic politics. The evidence demonstrates that the great majority of citizens pay little attention to politics. At election time, they are swayed by how they feel about "the nature of the times," especially the current state of the economy, and by political loyalties typically acquired in childhood. Election outcomes turn out to be largely random events from the viewpoint of contemporary democratic theory. That is, elections are well determined by powerful forces, but those forces are not the ones that current theories of democracy believe should determine how elections come out. > Conventional thinking about democracy has collapsed in the face of modern social-scientific research (adapted from Achen & Bartels 2016). Given the criticisms of U.S. democracy presented in this passage, along with the other criticisms we've covered over the term (ignorance, dead hands, populism, oligarchy, racism, among others), do you think the ideal of democratic self-government can be saved? Why or why not? Your task in this final question is to make a persuasive argument -- to sort through the best reasons to support your view. In making your case, be sure you engage with at least one opposing view or counter-argument.
True оr Fаlse. Demоcrаtic cоllаpse is the process of slow, incremental decay over a long period of time in free and fair elections, liberal rights, and public support for leaders within a regime.
