Without a doubt we have. The most prominent example is Egypt, with Nasser. Another example is Iran, with Mossadegh. Majority vote and democracy means diddly squat to America. What matters is that the regime is pliant to American desires. America wants regimes like in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, Iraq before 1991, Iran 1953-1979, etc - none of which resemble democracy.
