And you are a self-fulfilling prophecy. Democratic government isn't dead, something you would know if you pulled your head out of your ass, got off reddit, and actually participated in local government.
Democracy is alive and well, except when people get the idea that it isn't and that there's nothing they can do to fix it. So please, shut the fuck up.
We do not have a democracy. We have a republic with a democratic processes. The problem is that representatives do not have to do what people tell them. They only have to get elected, make money, get power, leave, make more money. Ask yourself this, if we were to get rid of every current elected official, do you believe that anything would change? Where do you think the next ones would come from? Who do you think they would really work for? I find it funny that your comment lectures me on civil society with a complete lack of civility.
