Quite right. It should be expected that democracy is imperfect and requires at least these three things to work at all: 1) A unifying incentive that makes people cooperate (prospects of improvement, opportunity, economic growth). 2) Mechanisms of removing bad actors. 3) Free speech that allows a constant re-negotiation of ideals, values, interests etc. Don't expect a single formula or law is going to solve everything for good, but expect a constant dialogue which allows to adapt to constantly changing requirements even though it may seem tiring. Decentralizing decision power alone does not cut it as people are going to be sneaky and selfish.
