Democracy is not purely something to achieve. It's not a noun it's a verb. Democracy is a verb, an organized action as a means to an end. The word democracy has been sloganized and propagandized just like socialism, communism, and fascism. The words have lost their meaning.
Like the 'war on terrorism'. Terrorism is a verb, how can you have a war on a verb...a war on an action...a war on a tactic...
Anyway... my point is that if you want a government that reflects the peoples' interests that is what the democratic process is supposed to achieve. A question to be asked is...is your government representing the interests of the population as a whole?

Not meaning to sound nitpicky here, and am posting here instead of on the thread as it's slightly off topic, and I'm not wanting to show you up, and I agree with your sentiment, but what do you mean
"Terrorism is a verb?"
'Terrorism' is a noun, isn't it?
'To terrorise' is a verb.

the whole ism thing changes a verb into a noun.

Or am I missing something completely?

Well said. You're absolutely right. Sometimes I get ahead of myself and should check myself when I'm on a rant.
