True, there are good and bad parts to both systems. I created this post mainly to point out that democracy is not the "golden heaven" that public schools preach. Just because the people decide doesn't mean their choice is any better than who could've assumed power otherwise.
Yeah, that's true. Anyone who thinks democracy is perfect is fooling themselves. Democracy is subject to all sorts of abuses, such as voting fraud, false smear campaigns by unscrupulous candidates, hidden agendas, etc. If you can sway the people, it doesn't matter if anything you say is true, and even if you can't sway the people, there's always ballot box stuffing.
Democracy would be near perfect if there was a way to know exactly what you'll get if you elect Candidate A instead of Candidate B, but we haven't exactly yet got the technology to predict the future.
Of course, if you hear out my ideal libertarian/anarchist utopia-I could tell you about how after we abolish government, everyone will be self-governing and we won't need politicains or democracy. 
And I could point you to the fact that every single anarchistic system developed into a government, given enough time.
Anarchy would be great if everyone was a completely rational, intelligent, perfectly self-motivated person who had plenty of scruples. The problem is that very few people actually are. Most people like to have someone tell them what to do for the most part, whether it be a manager at their place of employment, a police officer, or a government official. On top of that, organization is absolutely essential if humans ever wish to finish large projects, and nearly every organized group of people has someone in charge, such as foreman for construction workers. The only difference between a small-scale private organization and a more broad government is the scope of operations and how many people are underneath the leader(s).
