I feel like this is less a problem with democracy than it is with our legacy nation-states. Democracy doesn't scale well and is not equipped to reconcile irreconcilable differences. How can lefties in San Francisco and right wingers in Oklahoma be expected to find middle ground when their stated goals are mutually exclusive? You could address these issues by tinkering with democracy on a massive scale, or you could sub-divide the legacy nation states into regional powers with common cultures and goals, and allow them to go their separate ways.
