    But I can say mean things to my government(that they ignore) so is very democratic. If I can VOTE(the most important thing) and if I can complain, it’s democracy.

      Ancient Greek democracy begs to differ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition

      They argued that electoralism will result in rich amd artistocracy corrupting the whole process and getting into power and never letting it go, focusing on their own selfish interests
