A democracy is built on the losing side acquiescing and letting the majority rule.
Just because something is "democratic" doesn't mean it's inherently just, good, fair, or noble. Democracies have their own pathologies - see, for example, the "Tyranny of the Majority"[1] problem.
And never forget these words from "Johnny Got His Gun":
Father: You're gonna make the world safe for democracy!
Joe Age 10: What is democracy?
Father: Well it's never bright clear on myself.
Like any other kind government it's got something to
do with young men killing each other I believe.
