No, that's the point of representative government (which can be part of democratic society -- hence, representative democracy -- but is not essential to it.)
The point of democratic society is that society -- and government in particular -- should be responsive to the will of the people. One of the things the people frequently want, however, is not to spend all of their time dealing with issues of governance, so they often choose representative democracy as a mechanism for achieving that goal.
In a representative democracy like America yes, (a democratic republic actually) yet a pure democracy seeks majority compromise.
Actually that's not "part of the point" at all. The point of a democratic society is to elect representatives to act on the majority's will, not to take "decisions on your behalf" and not because they are "ideally best equipped to handle it".
Now, that model also relies on the ability to trust that those chosen to make the hard decisions are doing so competently and in the best interests of the society at large. It also bakes in the assumption that everyone will have to make compromises.
In the immortal words of Calvin and Hobbes "A good compromise leaves everyone mad".
