How many of these “Democracies” are Representative Republics, like our’s? Also, states entering into these kind of compacts is very unconstitutional.
Heck, I don't think any country is a "democracy" in the sense of direct democracy. If they were, they wouldn't be voting for a president!
Raskin was using the term in a less precise sense. He probably was thinking of, say, Mexico, and France, which recently had direct popular voting for president, and ignoring all of the parliamentary countries. When Canadians talk smack to me about our Electoral College, I just remind them that their system is similarly attenuated, and that they have had prime ministers win while losing the popular vote.
As for the compact being unconstitutional, the thing I don't get is why these states need all of the others to join in. If just one or two purple states decided to give their EVs to the national popular vote winner, the election would, as a practical matter, go to the national popular vote winner, because the electoral vote (under the current system) and the national popular vote never diverge by much.
