I agree, except there is a huge difference in a democracy and a dictatorship and the "aspiring person(s)" who run either. We have this little thing called an election where people vote for who they want in power for the next 4 years. If you don't exercise that power, which by the way is one of our civil liberties, then the so called "descent" you talk about will not be the fault of our leaders, but the fault of the people who truly hold the power.
