I think I’m informed enough to know that democracy doesn’t work right where I live. The empire of the US is a failed state at this point . Left/right mind hive is just not my thing , I’m a conservative by nature not politics. I agree with those items you listed but no one is actually going to accomplish those things if who’s going to be filling the job keeps getting decided on like this. True democracy always fails, always has. Most people have the illusion of democracy, what really happens isn’t because they collected enough votes and then they go and do what they said they would because of that.
