Not only that but simple majority rule IS Democracy. A 60 vote majority is not Democracy. That's mob rule.

Yes, in the end it does come down to a majority vote. That vote didn’t take place without the Republic electing Representatives.
We are a Constitutional Representative Republic.
People were voted to office with simply majorities. You could say that is majority rule. When those Representatives (Congressment and Senators) go to Washington, they are not bound to vote a certain way.
Majority rule does not force them at that point. They can vote against their constituents at times, and so this is not a true Democracy in that sense.
