I didn't say it was un-democratic. I was trying to point out that democracy can be a bad thing when the majority decides to vote themselves power to the detriment of the minority.
That's not about democracy per se, that's electoral college/states specifics.
Still democracy in general is exactly "majority rules". In democratic society of 100 people opinion of 51 would be enough to trump and ignore whatever remaining 49 want.
A democratic state is elected by the majority, as such, the state should share the same definition as the majority. That's the deal we're taking when we decide to live in a democracy: that we will abide by the law of the majority. This doesn't mean we have to agree: it means we have to convince the majority if we want a change.
But a state that can't defend the majority because of an open letter signed by a hundred crypto anarchists seems pretty bad to have indeed!
When my vote != everyone else's vote that is not a democracy. Just because everyone gets a say but we listen to these people more doesn't mean you have a democratic system. If anything you can for sure say it's not democratic.
