No biggie, they'll have another chance to pick a correct one. And another if they don't choose wisely

That is almost the definition of democracy — when they stop getting additional chances, that's when it stops being a democracy.

"Almost" is doing heavy lifting there.

Why would they need additional chances when they have already expressed what they want? Oh, they dared to vote for a candidate that doesn’t suit the powers that be, so they’ll vote again and again until they choose the preselected candidate.
