To expect others to be politicians and not ourselves is the great act of betrayal. Voting to choose between a vulture and a hyena is the greatest betrayal of oneself. Others are 'vultures' and 'hyenas'; what are you? Vultures and hyenas have their positive value. We shouldn't fear to live and engage an 'evil world'.

Yes. With fear, resentment and righteous indignation.

Democracy isn't America. Democracy is an idea about human relations. If it's not effective or effecient then the first suspect should be how we understand ourselves.
How can we say Democracy doesn't work when we are least tolerant of each other?
How can we say Democracy doesn't work when Nation States and corporate business are not only the least humanized, but the most active and powerful elements in our lives?

Who said democracy is America? There is no democracy there, anyway.
At least democracy is not the definition of human relations. There can be no 'democracy' without inhuman states and corporate business. It is just the way it is.

Propaganda - Edward Bernays(1928) wrote:
THE conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.
We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society.
Our invisible governors are, in many cases, unaware of the identity of their fellow members in the inner cabinet.
They govern us by their qualities of natural leadership, their ability to supply needed ideas and by their key position in the social structure. Whatever attitude one chooses to take toward this condition, it remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons—a trifling fraction of our hundred and twenty million—who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind, who harness old social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world.
