    Democracy is about theatrical performative helplessness in the face of human suffering. The more performative helplessness in the face of human suffering, the more democratic. marx-joker

      I prefer when Representatives elected for gerrymandered districts and Senators (who are explicitly there to counter democracy) prevent the President from doing things that are overwhelmingly popular because the Founders distrusted "the masses". That is True Democracy.

      I don't think you can really word it any simpler and shorter than that. That really is just the most base description of the democracy liberals want.
