A lot has to do with image.

Do they want real democracy and change or do they just want to ‘look good’?

You cannot claim to want democracy if you are satisfied with the MB representing you. That is the equivalent of saying the KKK can represent the real democratic aspirations of an oppressed people. Repressive groups replacing other repressive groups have nothing to do with democracy- that is about ideological war, with ham fisted leaders at the helm. Democracies don’t threaten other democracies with war.

Elections do not a democracy make. Hamas is proof of that.

Democracies are all about institutions that offer equal protections and access.

What do they know from democracy? Nothing. Besides, it’s not a democracy they want. They want a Republic. Majority wins the election. That’s democracy, but majority doesn’t rule. All people are represented in a republic.

And that’s why, in this country, the KKK are not illegal. They aren’t represented (per se), but they have a voice, a small little, squeaky, nasty voice.

The people want the freedom, the leaders want to keep them enslaved.
