Those with the money and power don’t want that tho … they don’t want a democracy (a system run by the people) they want a plutocracy (a system run by the wealthy)

Another example of how you can’t call our current systems democratic
When the public wants something because everyone knows and understand that it is a good idea … then it should be instituted and made possible. That’s democratic
When the idea is constantly blocked, delayed or dismissed … then it means that there are other forces in play that don’t want to represent the people or their wishes. It means that the system is not democratic.
