The problem with classical democracy is that people lose. poor Mr president has to turn to the 49% and say, “look I know you didn’t vote for me but you are 49% of the <nationality’s> way of life, to ignore that and disrespect that would be a very bad thing to do”.
My experience comes from being on a committee that tried to organise by doodle poll. we had meetings more frequently than every four weeks and for a year, none of those meetings was fully attended by the committee.
people respond to the problem of, “I cannot attend because the event is run at a time when I am busy” in a different way. instead of thinking, “well I tried to attend but I got voted against”, the options include:
Talk to the organiser and let them know that I am always busy on a Wednesday and ask for different days of events
Reorganise my life to fit the community event in
skip my other commitments once to see if I want to attend this event
These solutions do not always occur if I participated in the poll but “lost”.
No it would not be solved.

Better to organise by dictator/ do-ocracy.
I’m confused about how dictatorship solves the problem in this case
