Good.
Democracies are far from perfect, but we don't have a better system. At least democracies can course-correct.
Dictatorships and autocracies always fail, and at great human expense.
Dreams of autocratic rulers who fix all problems is political laziness.

Opposition leader Tikhanovskaya flees to Lithuania after second night of protests
Amid unrest in Belarus, Lukahsenko’s top rival Svetlana Tikhanovskaya said she left the country because "what is happening now is not worth a single life." Lithuania said Tikhanovskaya was "safe" on their territory.
Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, the main challenger in the disputed presidential election in Belarus, said Tuesday she made a "difficult decision" to leave her homeland, but did so of her own volition.
As protests against Alexandar Lukashenko's alleged victory grow more violent, Tikhanovskaya tried to explain the reasons behind her sudden departure in YouTube video.
"You know, I thought that this whole campaign really had hardened me and given me so much strength that I could handle anything," she said. "But, probably, I'm still the weak woman I was in the first place. I have made a very difficult decision for myself," before adding, "I made this decision absolutely independently."
"Children are the most important thing we have in life," continued Tikhanovskaya. "I know that many of you will understand me, many others will condemn me and some will even hate me. But God forbid you ever face the choice that I faced.''
"People please take care of yourselves," she added. "What is happening now is not worth a single life."
The Belarusian government also insisted that she left on her own accord.
Meanwhile, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius confirmed Tikhanovskaya had crossed the border during the protests in her home country and was "safe."
