Democracy is not important. Liberty is the goal. Democracy does not equal liberty. Lichtenstein(constitutional monarchy) is arguably more free than the US and is ruled by a king.
Many tyrants have been democratically elected. The people get what the people want. US citizens no longer value liberty and it shows. The US is not a "capitalist" country. Price limits/controls are everywhere. Quasi socialist mandates are pervasive. When the looming collapse comes, do not blame free market economics. The governments of the US and the states within have manipulated this economy beyond repair. A collapse in an economy this manipulated cannot reasonably be blamed on free markets.
Although it is tough to find the time. The best way to facilitate change is to get involved in local politics. The support for national candidates comes from local party politicians and organizations. Being absent from these allows others to decide whom we get to vote for.
