In a sense Sneak has a point but only if related to the "Democracy" we currently have.
Representative Democracy only allows to choose which Tyrant we consider less evil, and which lobbyists and deep state assets we consider less corrupt. As you point out though, it is a system which has nothing to do with real Democracy which originally meant power of the people in Ancient Greece and which was indeed Direct Democracy.
Direct Democracy (as in participatory democracy) would be a big step forward. For starters I'm sure with Direct Democracy we would have no wars.
51% is not a wide enough consensus for any respectable decision, but it still better than having decisions made only by the 0.1% as it is now.
Direct Participatory Democracy with a 90% quota is what I consider the best possible system and the closest thing to Anarchy (which is full consensus). Those who feel they can't fit in Direct Democracy should be allowed to "fork" into another system. That's why I don't believe in a 1 World Government....there needs to be always alternative nations to experiment new things or for people to move to in case a system goes wrong.

There are some elements of true democracy that could be implemented:
