The sign of a healthy democracy is that a significant proportion of the electorate are naive enough to believe (and vote for) such a party or that the electorate resort to voting for extremist parties to show their frustration with the said democracy?
I don't think so.

there comes a time when democracy fails, look at the last election in the US, an openly racist party, i thought we were past all that. and whoever said history repeats itself wasnt lying.

yet again, I agree, and I am about as against racism as it is probable to be, I still think monoid is right. it's only sociaety that has conditioned us to think that racism is such a wrong thing, we stereotype all the time, and jsut like goverments try to work against/for the rich and poor, that makes them just as bad.

in a completely perfect society you are right, but we live in the real world, where real racism exists and people get treated unfairly just because of the color of their skin. but your point is well taken.

it failed, if it can be bypassed it failed, there was really not much to do, what can you do? the us government is the most powerful entity on earth, if the entire rest of the world cannot escape its pull what makes you think the people who live here can do anything about it?

that's just insane, ofcourse the people could do something, but the people don't care.
what's the point of having a democracy if most of the people don't even care?
same as all that shit that the Bush administration is spouting about terrorists hating freedom - that's rich, coming from people who ushered themselves into power.

bush just exploited a flaw in the system. the electorial college has been outdated for 50 years.
but, since it was a VERY close race no matter how you look at it, nearly 50% of the people got the man they truly wanted. they weren't complaining.
besides, even though i think there was definately some funny business going on in florida, the whole "rigged election" scenerio isn't nearly as cut and dried as it is presented here.
