I recognize your reasonable desire to correctly identify Democracy (majority vote by voters not under duress or manipulation) as opposed to Our Democracy™, Prog Marxist Democrat one party absolute control of Elections and Ballots.
Unfortunately, "Democracy" is ALWAYS Mob Rule that deteriorates to "Our Democracy™ " in a matter of months.
That is the reason for the Constitutional Representative Republic, and why one should ALWAYS fire on the Mob.
Look at all the Communist countries who had “Democratic” in their names like:
German Democratic Republic
Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea
Democratic Kampuchea (Pol Pot)
