RE: The United States is NOT a Democracy (Never has been)

So if "mediocracy" is not the optimal solution for the US or any other state does 'Republic of Democratically Elected Representatives' solves this problem or there is better solution?

In the world where the new feudalism is raising shouldn't we try to reverse the flow? Shouldn't we be afraid of losing basic 'democratic' rights like freedom of speech, access to clean water and nature?
