Huh? I think I said early on: democracy is a process. It can do good, it can do bad.
I'm against bad.
When democracy does 'bad', the only way forward is more democracy plus better communication, better education, and eventually a better democratic outcome. It's not just a means to an end that we can swap out for totalitarianism, but an end in itself. At least that's what libertarianism used to mean.
Democracy can be overdone. It's a useful component of governance, and helps keep the worst authoritarians away from permanent or excessive power. But it's not inherently a good thing, and there are many circumstances where a consensus of experts is a far better decision making methodology than a popularity contest.
I would like to see someone try a Westminster style of bicameral legislature, where the upper house is not elected, but is instead made up of subject matter experts whose selection is based on knowledge rather than popularity.
The English House of Lords was originally somewhat similar in concept, with the unfortunate error of equating wealth and social standing with expertise. The idea of hereditary peers was that as they are neither subject to election nor to dismissal, they would give their impartial consideration to the effect of legislation on the nation, rather than its effects on public opinion. It didn't work very well, but its problem wasn't a lack of democracy - rather it was a lack of merit based selection.
The idea that 'more democratic' necessarily means 'better for the people' or 'better for the nation' is simply wrong. It was true in the past, because no nation had sufficient democracy in the mix; But it is untrue where democracy has become too large a part of the mix, allowing stupid people rather too much ability to drown out the minority of people who actually have a clue about most complex subjects.
Donald Trump is exhibit A. Brexit is exhibit B. Both are failures caused by over emphasis of democracy over competence, knowledge, and expertise.
