Doesn't that comport with how we define our democracy?

Webster's Unabridged:

democracy, 1. government by the people, either directly or through elected representatives; rule by the ruled.

2. a country, state, community, etc. with such government.

3. majority rule.

4. the acceptance and practice of the principle of equality of rights, opportunity, and treatment; lack of snobbery; as, there is real democracy in this school.
(editorial comment - This one was obviously written by a commie professor)

5. the common people.
