We stopped educating for that in 1958. An educated mass is very important to a democracy
An educated mass is only important if you want the democratic decisions made to be reasonable ones. An unreasonable election is still democratic. The problem you describe isn't a lack of democracy; it's a populace of illogical sheeple.

Democracy is neither the problem nor the solution to unreasonable decisions; it's simply the vehicle. From my experience of people, it will never be a vehicle for reason.
