I almost ended up posting something similar previously, even the ideal democracy and "real democracy was never tried" featured as well, then deleted.
Liberals appropriated the democracy for themselves, and others raises the point that illiberal democracy is also democracy. I would turn it onto both and would say (and probably said in the past) that this isn't democracy. Just because bunch of people can go to the urns to cast their votes, that doesn't make it democracy, even the Greeks back then knew this.
It's weird that literacy and education achieved never seen levels during the history of humankind and now people are just as far detached from the possibility to decide their own fate as anytime else. We have the ability to give the information to everyone, so everyone could make their informed decision, and we have nothing but bs, false information, lies, silly non-issues, political circus, and babelian chaos of social media's billion headed hydra. Is it because of the manipulative exploiters of the masses, or simply humanity is unable to function otherwise?
