    Democracy only doesn’t work when the people in it don’t want it to work. To not try is to throw out the baby with the bath water.

      No, democracy requires active participation, you try to simplify this to either positive or negative actors, but no matter the issue, the vast majority of people simply won’t care.

      And the majority that doesn’t really care enough to form an informed opinion is the bane of democracy.
