It depends who you define 'us' as. It has been empirically proven that that United States is not a democracy[0]. 'Us' is now corporate interests and for profit prisons. To further illustrate take a look at some of the talk about Donald Trump (and Bernie Sanders as well) for example, now let it be clear I don't support the man but one of the major criticisms is that he is a populist. You hear it time and time again on CNN, FOX News, etc. How is that a criticism in a democracy? Shouldn't all politicians be populists? At least ones that want to be elected anyway.
