In my probably unpopular opiniom, Democracy dies as soon as someone mentioned a representative democracy would be better.
Feel it’s why there was so much brought up in 2024 about a lot of people not being educated enough to vote or make decisions for themselves. People were afraid these backlashes against a toxic 2 party system could devolve into many people thinking it is innatly easier to corrupt 1 individual representing many than it is to corrupt more than 50% of those people.
An easy example is if we had a pure democracy I believe more than enough people would vote to make the piggy backing of unrelated items onto other bills unconstitutional.
It would require massive changes to our government structure but both parties and the rich would fight any such thing because it would strip power from their private entities.

I’m not sure it would be that different with how many people don’t vote and how many people are mis or disinformed.
