As stated the impossibility theorem is true, however we can design a democratic system that does satisfy all of the conditions set forth. (unrestricted domain, non-dictatorship, Pareto efficiency, and independence of irrelevant alternatives) The key is to elect multiple people and give them power proportional to their electoral results, and to allow people to split their single vote fractionally between multiple candidates. I think this is where democracy will head in about 200 years.

But they do not solve the theoretical problem caused by the special cases in ordinal preference, where "for every candidate another has larger preference". > allow people to split their single vote fractionally Let us note that there are many other strategies... Weighed voting, layers of electors... And let us note that in general they usually have theoretical and practical weaknesses.
