...which is basically what democracy is, but systemitized such that it can be applied at scale.

If we had a consensus based government I wouldn’t have a fascist as a representative

There are more people than just you in your district

Yes and we should all agree on who is going to represent us. Otherwise the losing party is disenfranchised.

You're not going to get unanimous approval for anything when your group size is several thousand people

Maybe the groups should be smaller then

Also, smaller groups mean more representatives, which means unanimity/consensus as you say would also be unlikely at the national level.

Sorry to inform you of this, but nations exist whether you want to believe in them or not.
