Democracy is doing just fine. It’s Our Democracy™ that is taking a beating.
I recognize your reasonable desire to correctly identify Democracy (majority vote by voters not under duress or manipulation) as opposed to Our Democracy™, Prog Marxist Democrat one party absolute control of Elections and Ballots.
Unfortunately, "Democracy" is ALWAYS Mob Rule that deteriorates to "Our Democracy™ " in a matter of months.
That is the reason for the Constitutional Representative Republic, and why one should ALWAYS fire on the Mob.
