democracy only fails when its people has poor quality and access of education. when governments refuse to properly fund schools, when university fees cost people life long debts, that's how democracy fails.

We do not have a perfect system. If not democracy, what substitute would you recommend?

The founding fathers knew this that’s why they created a constitutional republic with branches of government to balance each other out they knew that in a pure democracy, it leads to mob rule and complete totalitarianism..

I think democracy should have requirements, like pass a test or something so only people who SHOULD vote vote. Nothing biased, just like a basic cognitive test or iq

Only highly intelligent (Epstein, Tesla level) people should rule as a group imo.

Plato also had no concept of representative democracy. He is speaking of direct democracy.

Technocracy is the best form thus far. Decision-makers are selected based on their technical expertise, like science and economic rather than popular vote. Super harsh punichment for corrpution is required to uphold the technocrat model. Think of Singapore or China.
