How is it not a democracy? It is representative, sure, but it is still more democratic than many other nominal democracies which do not even have proportional representation.
Perhaps people just do not consider this an important issue, and do not factor it in to how they choose their representatives very much?
What do you suggest as the alternative? Direct democracy? Anarchy?

- mhitza 5y agoFunny, just posted this to a parent comment thread on a whim. Representative democracy is really not that good, when you can't recast your vote; and you're forced to pick X/Y for Z years. Your options are vote a representative, don't vote a representative, become a representative yourself. I personally am a firm believer that due to the proliferation of technology, Liquid Democracy can become feasible for our generation. But I doubt those in power would let the democratic process evolve in that direction.
