We both agree depict democracy is not the solution. But my statement is true.
Representative democracy is less democratic then direct. And “completely ignoring” poplar opinion is anti democratic. By definition.
My comment was opposing the whole idea of politicians using the term populist to belittle ideas they disagree with. Rather then challenging them on merit.
Sorry lots of typos. I’m legally blind and using a tablet atm. Its difficult.
