You may scoff, but a remarkable property of deliberative, participative democracy is that it works much better in practice than it does in theory. As we have seen in places such as Rojava and Porto Alegre, it transforms people into democratic citizens.

Once we have real democratic power, these examples show, we take it seriously and use it responsibly. Short-term thinking gives way to long-term thinking. The results tend to be much fairer, greener and more responsible than the results of representative democracy alone.
