It literally doesn't matter how you structure a democracy, at the end of the day, all the rules and requirements etc are just words on paper. None of it will work unless people choose to play their parts. Democracy cannot survive a political party that spends 50 years electing worse and worse criminals, and sacrificing everything to the alter of "More power for our party" Voters did not punish republicans for Nixon. Voters did not punish republicans for Iran-Contra. Voters did not punish republicans for several market and economic failures. Voters did not punish republicans for multiple outright illegal wars waged on false pretenses that cost us tens of trillions of dollars, spent explicitly from debt. So this is what you get. The bar will keep getting lower until republican voters finally decide they won't support literally any criminal with an R next to them. So we are fucked basically.
