Believers in fiat democracy

Democracy is closest to democracy probably only in Switzerland? And even there its not the best.

True. But "disbelievers in democracy thinking the elite care if you don't vote" look exactly the same to me. Its like hearing an atheist say they don't believe in the power of prayer any more; but they do believe in the power of blasphemy.

In Australia you are not allowed to discuss things but you are required to vote. Legally enforced low information voters.
