Not really? Shamanistic medicine doesn't work.

Switzerland has the highest functioning democracy on the planet.

It worked enough for people to be using it.

Somehow I think being completely secure in last two world wars contributes to the success of their high functioning democracy. Also, I thought we were talking about elections not democracy.

Democracy can work perfectly well even if the elections select completely random party to rule if all parties are good enough.

I guess, but I only guess, that if it's not happening in the States it means it's impossible and shamanistic. Kind of like universal healthcare, you know.
