Yeah, good thing "we" are not a democracy, so the elites just do whatever they like - open borders, endless wars, child grooming - even though the people don't want that.
Wtf kind of "democracy" do you want? Do you think if the plebs had direct democracy, where we could all decide on every law at any given moment we felt like doing so, that would actually be a good thing?
I quite like the Swiss model. Not perfect, but it encourages a communal interest in politics that we are missing. In the last few years they've already voted against electronic IDs, mass surveillance and climate change laws.
The issue is that Switzerland is still almost entirely white and very small.
So unless America balkanizes and we flee to states along ethnic lines I'm not entirely sure it would work
