Democratic decisions missing?

Hmm, is this bugged? I'm communist, I have a democratic reformer, but I don't have any democracy decisions available. Support for democracy is at 53% and rising

Did you scroll down to the bottom of the decisions screen, the one on far left of the tool bar where the tech page used to be summoned?

I was surprised not to get a pop-up informing me of that, but noticed the number on the advisory button that comes up had increased and found an option to begin the process of a 'peaceful transition' for ~75 PP and afterwards an option to hold a referendum for 100 PP when I exceeded 50% popularity.

Yes, it isn't there at all. I've got the categories:

Propaganda Efforts
War Measures
Operations
Political Actions
Economic Policy
Prospect for Resources

The only ones that refer to democracy at all are:
Anti-democratic Raids
Ban Democratic Parties
Institute Press Censorship

I'll quote a post from another thread which seems relevant:

I looked through the files, i believe nations that have the ability to go democratic via foci cannot get the event to flip them to democratic, which is ridiculous in my opinion.
Essentially if the following trigger is true, then the decision to cause the flip is not visible.
Edit: Well, the peaceful referendum transition, not sure about self triggered civil wars.

It looks like you're on the right page, if it's not on the bottom and you need to scroll down, I don't know what to tell you.

When this one was first released I lost my guns for a while, they simply disappeared off the production screen. I naturally figured I'd messed something up with the new interface and had 'hidden' them using that option near the top, but that wasn't it, my support equipment and motorized were still shown, just not infantry weapons. I noticed from the stockpile screen that they were still producing, in fact they'd gotten the new factories I'd assigned them before, but just weren't viewable. I very carefully made sure I wasn't failing to see them because they were at the top or the bottom and had scrolled them out of view, but that wasn't it either. Eventually I just quit and reloaded and that solved the problem, there they were like they'd never been gone.

Give that a try is all I can suggest.

Reload didn't work, and the USA doesn't have any ideology swap focuses

Oh dear, I hope this is a bug. It just occurred to me they might have tried to put a stop to us players who liked changing our ideology like we were changing our underwear to allow us more options playing the game.

The united states cannot flip to democratic via event, which i find strange, given they don't actually have a focus to flip back to democratic. The trigger that was quoted basically prevents a nation from seeing the decision that fires the event to flip to democratic. I recommend reporting this as a bug/oversight.
