It has its drawbacks.
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
― Isaac Asimov

Democracy only works properly with good access to factual information and good education.

which is why in America, certain parties are proposing banning books and cutting funding to education. They want to make sure their base stays stupid enough to vote for them.

Also why billionaires and industrials bought out so many different media over the years.
