In a direct democracy, every single group member has an equal say and votes on every issue. It is impractical for large groups, like countries, because it would be very difficult, if not impossible, for each member to vote on every issue. Countries usually have representative democracies in which the citizens elect representatives who vote on the issues, ideally with the best interests of the citizens in mind.

How does democracy in Ancient Greece compared to democracy in the US today ask?

In their direct democracies, he citizens met in fortnightly assembly and made decisions which were implemented by a council. This was only possible by the smallness of the Greek city-state, where citizens could walk to and from the assembly. It is impractical in large countries today for such assembling for voting, so there is representative democracy, where citizens elect representatives to attend a parliament and vote on their behalf - often not necessarily as the citizens would wish. Modern computing has now made it possible for citizens to vote but don't expect the political class to give up its power voluntarily and implement such a system anytime soon.
