democracy is intended to be a way to get a proxy of wisdom, which should be what is commonly called "common sense"

it's a proxy

you can't vote on wisdom

you can't make a thing a fact by agreeing on it in large numbers

facts exist whether we like it or not, and it is in our interest to agree with facts because they have a material impact on our lives
