You mean the 22 bureaucrats members of the flag commission that were appointed by politicians represent "democracy"?

Also, it is funny how the best flag redesign happened in 1925 and not a single redesign since came close to it.

My flag didn't make the top 10, but that's OK because it was radically different than the average state flag. Of course most of the top 10 are just like every other state flag because people want what's familiar but ever so slightly different. Anyway, the one in the middle is closest to my design so that's the one I like.

Literally every single one of them is better than the current one. Cope.

Americans are rootless and their folk art is commercials

That's what democracy means in practice.

Still on the New Mexico flag history, the flag was commissioned to a non-profit organization of directly descendants of somebody who were in the American Revolutionary War, so they were a bunch of patriots with direct links to the state foundation, so people who really cared for the state. They then organized how it would be commissioned, and the one selected was created by an archaeologist who studied New Mexico heritage.

So yeah, there are ways where "representative democracy" can work IF the people in charge care a little bit about the state.

This Illinois one was a bunch of boomers elected in a fake two-party system that selected their friends who understand nor care a shit about their state so they can get a fat paycheck for participating in the commission.

the fourth one is decent but too futuristic colours
fifth nope
sixth works but looks like the logo of a office rather than a state. seventh... okay enough. eighth okay enough. ninth north korea.

It's not democracy, it's Democrats. Dem staffers and public servants are A) technocrats who will always defer to whoever most loudly and visibly claim to be experts (the claimed experts of flags are "vexillologists"), and B) conflict/risk-adverse and afraid of responsibility (if they didn't have rich parents they'd be accountants) so everything they create has the air of design by committee.

The Mississippi flag could be better but it's not nearly as reddit as its blue state counterparts
