There is no such thing as democracy, it’s only a theoretical concept.

There’s no such thing as pure democracy in anything larger than an ancient Greek city-state, possibly today’s HOAs - and you see how well they work.
What passes for democracy in todays’ nations of millions (and even the HOA we chose to leave 12 years ago) is elected representative government where the voters trust their elected representatives to represent their interests - to varying degrees of success and failure.
What’s lacking in, for instance, the US government for some time now is actual representation of the majority of the peoples’ interests - unless the majority of the people actually enjoy being on the poor end of a growing wealth gap. Those voters who continue to elect representatives who perpetuate these policies are: getting the government they deserve.
