With low voter turn outs in most nations I'd say citizens fail to inform themselves already, so democracy in its purest sense doesn't really make any sense anyway. Democracy presently relies on political parties alienating people from each others candidates and relying on attrition of the voter pool to get elected. Well the Republicans lost by 3% in key states, so we only have to reduce the Democrat voter turnout so lets run a stronger smear campaign. We recently had this in Canada with the Conservatives. They knew they could get a majority with only 44% of the popular vote (I'm not sure how that even works or makes sense to anyone that a minority of votes can give a majority government).
