The US is one of the most watered down democracies, even for a liberal democracy (which is severely watered down). Its a system where the needs of the many are filtered through the needs of the few. We dont need to “fix” liberal democracy, we need workers democracy (syndicalism).
I think what they mean is, in theory in Democracy the majority decides about political actions by electing their representatives who in turn act on their behalf. In the US this is heavily manipulated by e.g. only giving a very limited number of choices which dont represent most peoples opinions. Not everyones opinion is worth the same, you buy influence with money.

Do you really think that the previous poster understands that? I highly doubt that.
What makes you think so?
There’s nothing liberal about US “democracy”.
Liberal democracy has a fixed definition, its not a term they came up with.
That doesn’t mean they understand that term.
