Except that's not what happens in practice. In practice the average person is too busy trying to scrounge together 2k each month for rent to even think about politics. They are too distracted by social media and entertainment to put the time in required to learn about the world. They don't have the intelligence or drive to self educate so they just believe the lies they were taught in school and from movies and the news.

Democracy and the vast majority of humanity are two fundamentally contradictory things. They cannot be reconciled.
