The word "Democracy" I'm not sure actually exists in practice. It seems more a word than something actually done (being represented properly by elected oblivious stay-in-lane representatives I wouldn't trust with conversation let alone represent me).

❓ Is "Democracy" just the many also oblivious, even the cleverest who might also be "hoping" for logic and "balance" to come to the surface when it doesn't?

❓ Is "Democracy" actually trying to achieve, through millions of unique voices, what is impossible to do the on a large scale as representation and care?,

❓ Is "Democracy" the 3rd meaning in my dictionary so the people have the 1st meaning in mind while 2nd and 3rd meaning is what state / government uses all-the-while ?

Noun: democracy

🙍 1. A political system ruled by the people, either directly or through elected representatives
2. The doctrine that the numerical majority of an organized group can make decisions binding on the whole group
3. A state under the direct or representative rule of its people

⬆️ The = Government (which is slowly becoming the same thing!)

Just saying words might not actually work as a system but exist in the dictionary). Words can mean something but doesn't mean they need to work in reality.
Also words can be taken over to mean whatever people mean today so it's own context of "today" anyway it seems it's far fetched and perhaps just another words used by politics to make people think they are in a Democracy (again words twisted by those in it toward the largely uneducated public).

Democracy in it's best case, as I see it, needs smaller pools of people and more dynamic style of "system" because of the unique differences of individuals themselves and their locality.

Democracy is not a one-size fits all system called "Democracy".

Part of it are good like "good communication" and other components but MILLIONS REPRESENTED BY A FEW PEOPLE ? NO.

Elected or not by today's standards of politics, Democracy seems like a label used but if you talk to the average persons they might not even know what it is...
