Is it the No True Democracy argument that any problems we see with the federal government are a result of flaws in the too-low percent pure democracy that it is?

I think the trick of democracy is to avoid the tyranny of the majority. We have some structures in place in the US intended to prevent the worst of them from occurring. I find it amusing (and if it happened more frequently, annoying and then scary) that these exact controls are seen by some as inconveniences or impediments.

>> Disgusting.

Wow, opposing mob rule is "Disgusting." now

>real democracy

That is why I oppose "real democracy", I prefer a Constitutional Republic with powers widely distributed in a federalist model.

>if the majority goes psychotic nothing will help us

No, that is the exact thing a Constitution, Distributed Power, and Checks / Balances is designed to counter, to ensure the majority can not simply force their will over the minority.... and the smallest minority is the individual

What is actually disgusting is your rejection of natural individual rights in favor of majoritarian rule
