In a democratic society you don’t control, you elect strong leaders who guide and mentor the people to the positions that are best for society as a whole. We build a culture that believes in reason, science, humanitarianism, and progress. Then we work on spreading this culture and belief to others around us every opportunity we have.

The problem is democracy is about popularity, not reason. Most people do not elect the "best" leaders. We are very far away from that ever happening, regardless of culture.
