Democracy is already dead. It’s just that the stench of its rotting corpse hasn’t yet gotten so bad that people who don’t want to face that fact have to anyway.

For the most part, yes.
Voting for a representative every four years is not democracy, in any meaningful sense. The AEC is outstanding compared to other countries, I hold them in high regard and I am grateful, but we cannot pretend that people and their needs have more political influence than capital.
