An independent media was supposed to prevent this, but they too can be bought and controlled.
Democracy is a massive Psyop.

Even more wild that the US "democracy" has a vassal state in Israel spying and propagandizing all its citizens to usurp the constitution.
This could not be more true.
Which is why the founding fathers of the US despised democracy. Unfortunately, any government with elections is vulnerable, including constitutional representative republics. However, it would help if we actually obeyed the Constitution. For example, the Constitution still requires one elected representative for every 30,000 people. There's 300 million people in the US and 435 representative. You do the math. 🫤
Props always going to exist. Solve the trust issue, and it becomes a non-issue.

bitcoin is not democratic
Or a tool to push your agenda democratically. ⚖️
Democracy is an immoral scam all along put in place by rulers to keep the sheeps in place by giving them the false idea that they are somehow in control of their lives
In a sense, but money isn't any good if you don't have anyone to spend it with. So in a sense, democracy is an aspect of any network, in so much as the network is impacted by what its participants do.
i don't think what you're saying has anything to do with democracy
Just depends on how narrow your definition is
