Democracy is practiced so that all people have a chance to say their piece and have a vote in what happens to their lives.
Otherwise, other people make all the decisions in people's lives and they have no say about what happens to them in their lives otherwise.
But, it is useful to perceive Democracy as a form of hopefully bloodless warfare between people in order that all people's views are heard and hopefully all people's needs to survive and to prosper are also heard and hopefully acted upon.
It's a fairer way to conduct one's life than living in a totalitarian state like in China or Russia.
