Please, enlighten me how exactly is the EU not democratic.

I am very sure you have excellent arguments to support this claim.

We can't elect an official from one day to another to reverse and destroy decades of work, I guess that makes us non democratic.

It's a very often repeated criticism of the EU. While it's member states are democratic, the EU Parlament is kinda it's own thing.

I personally still consider it somewhat democratic, as we so have votes (even though they have horrendous voter participate) - but it's not a niche opinion.
