In this debate, we argued both sides around how we should currently feel towards the system of democracy. Amit argued that democracy is not a perfect system, but its better than any other system we have and that there are some fundamental principles within that validate why we should be more optimistic than ever about democracy. David argued that democracy is intrinsically flawed, and that the pursuit of democratic values has been manipulated by governments to only cause more pain around the world. He argued that by being pessimistic towards it- we have a better chance at changing the system and getting people to see what is wrong in it.
