Joe Biden on democracy

I didn’t argue that the war in Vietnam was immoral; it was merely stupid and a horrendous waste of time, money, and lives based on a flawed premise.

I, too, believe there are natural rights that predate any written political or legal documents; we have these rights merely because we’re children of God.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.

The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.

It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.
