Democracy is good even if the voters are stupid

It doesn't matter if democracy (being ruled by an electorate) is bad... pr is still preferable to fptp. If the voters are complete and committed communists then any form of democracy will result in death because the outcome will be the same... but if a sufficiently large number of voters are not communists then the voting system used makes a difference and pr is preferable. Even if democracy is bad and the voters are socialist it is still preferable to (give them more democracy and) have pr. Stupid people with more choice (of government) do less damage than stupid people with a restricted choice. (Government is worse than stupid people.) Fptp does nothing to constrain the electorate... they can easily get enough stupid from what they are offered. The electorate do no less damage under fptp than they would do under pr.. in fact they (enable the government to) do much more. Stupid people should be given more choice in electing the government because even stupid voters are better than the state. The voters are better than the state no matter how stupid they are. It doesn't matter how stupid the voters are.. more democracy is always better.
