Unfortunately, democracy favours the average American, not the rich folks, the elites of business and politics. So, don't expect democracy to thrive in a society that is dominated by rich folks and elites. They have all the controls and dominate both old line parties.

Or if democracy does die, the future generations will revive it?

How is America operating as a democracy? I can list more reasons why it's not. You have to see it for what it is, the truth or you will never even begin to fix anything. If you are pretending America is operating as a democracy than your part of the problem.

Pretty sure it died around the start of the cold war.

We don't have fair representation
