You should look up the definition of “democracy” in a dictionary before accusing others of making up a definition.
Im not just trying to “win an argument”, like you accuse me of, I’m pointing out an inaccuracy of your statement. Through your childish outburst I can see that you’re defining democracy to include other aspects of what you deem to be “good governance” — fine, but that’s confusing given the well known definition which doesn’t necessarily include those things.

The government is no longer democratic if it is attempting to enslave it's own people. Your example is just one of a democracy voting to no longer be a democracy. This does not mean that the people of the democracy were never free or empowered.
