I will never fight for Democracy. I will fight for my Constitution. Those who want pure Democracy want to shred the Constitution whenever it is popular to do so. No thank you. Give me a Constitutional Republic over a raw might-makes-right Democracy any day. There is a reason the founders rejected a pure Democracy for our government.

… (T)he first step in the revolution by the working class is to raise the proletariat to the position of ruling class, to win the battle of democracy.

The proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degree, all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralize all instruments of production in the hands of the State, i.e. of the proletariat organized as the ruling class; and to increase the total productive forces as rapidly as possible.

Of course, in the beginning, this cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads on the rights of property and on the conditions of bourgeois production …

— Communist Manifesto, Chapter 2

Those who insist on transmuting the USA’s republic into democracy have that very goal in mind.

Obama is not one.
