Democracy is a popular vote for everything with no voter suppression. Not electing chumps to get bribed. Want to end war? End poverty? Let the people vote. Socialism here we come.
There are many forms of democracy. Representative democracy is one and you seem to like direct democracy. I know that I don't have time for direct democracy... there is just too much going on. But there might be a middle ground.
Socialism is not direct democracy.
