Consensus decision making is different from democratic voting, yes, but the process is more democratic than simply voting.
As far as I am concerned, representative democracy has been tested and failed spectacularly.

I’m all ears on a new system, even aside from representative democracy, but there are problems with just putting all things to a popular vote as well.
I think we’re talking about the same thing just using different words, care to elaborate?
yep, popular vote is just dictatorship of the majority, so that’s pretty much a non-starter, too
