Technically 🤓 democracy doesn't have to be popular, even if that's the colloquial meaning (certainly the one chuds go by with their "republic not democracy" shit). Lenin even pointed that out with his example of the ancient Greek city-states. So long as "the people" (the ones that matter) are allowed to vote for representatives and/or direct laws, and participate in assembly.
But yeah, semantics aside, American Bourgeois Democracy is failing even in its primary functions of orderly managing the affairs of the Bourgeoisie and securing legitimacy in the population's eyes.
That is what they are doing with their voter disenfranchisement, gerrymandering, and Constitutional Convention plans. Ensuring their radicalised voter base are the only ones getting a say.
