But not for all aspects of society. Pre-democracy, kings and royalties get to make these choices. But in western democracies, you at least have an unalienable vote which is independent of your economic output. This vote means that no matter how many billions get spent, this vote is up to your own decision.

Yes, the point is that democracy can exist in more places. For example in the workplace or even within certain supply chains (such as food production).

Your vote helps dictate how some of the rules of society change and how some chunk of society’s wealth gets spent. But your money is how you vote on how everybody else in society spends the most precious resource they have: their time.
