How exactly is saying "both what it meant then and what it means now" not you being very certain that you are exactly right about its meaning?
Also, people who live in glass houses...:

My argument is that it's unstable not non-existant.
They all have to do with the stability of a democracy. People being able to put a mark on a piece of paper is not sufficient to be a democracy. Unless you think Russia is a stable Democracy and Putin just naturally keeps winning with 95% of the vote?
Well at least you're admitting that you aren't very aware of the situation and not paying too much attention to things. Given that by your own admission you aren't paying attention, maybe you shouldn't be speaking so authoritatively about it.

Pointing out problems is not bigotry.
