Characterization of Arendt and Popper as continental

The article currently refers to "Continental philosophers Hannah Arendt, Leo Strauss and Karl Popper". Are Arendt and Popper usually considered part of the continental tradition? I'm not at all an expert, but I didn't think they were. Even if I'm wrong, perhaps this is a strange thing to emphasize? Wwhhllrr (talk) 16:33, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Socrates believed that the ballot box was a stupid way to elect representatives

Socrates believed that the ballot box was a stupid way to elect representatives. Xenophon explains: "Socrates cause his associates to despise the established laws when he dwelt on the folly of appointing state officers by ballot: a principle which, he said, no one would care to apply in selecting a pilot or a flute-player or in any similar case, where a mistake would be far less disastrous than in matters political. Words like these, according to the accuser, tended to incite the young to contemn the established constitution, rendering them violent and headstrong." 121060 Raja.m82 (talk) 16:40, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

You have confused ballot with ballot box William M. Connolley (talk) 19:03, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

I don't know what the purpose of the OP was in posting the above here. If there was a ballot, then there may have been a ballot box also. Or not. Whatever the case, it is clear from the passage (wherever it is take from) that Socrates was referring to the ballot itself, whether that was a box for that or not. So, does that mean that Socrates was implying that democracy is not a good system? Just curious. Thank you, warshy 22:40, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
