If democracy doesn't work for the majority of people, and your party runs on 'rescuing' that same democracy while at the same time villinaising the people that do want to improve the people's economic conditions, you're not going to be winning elections.
If you want to rescue democracy, you need to show that democracy can work for people, it's the same mistake Weimar Germany made.
It’s hard to elect one person that works for the majority of the people. The majority of the people aren’t a homogenous group. Not everybody agrees on which policies are the best.
There's a huge range of policies that poll in the 80-90% range that neither party wants to touch because they upset the donor class.
