Yes, so it is relevant to note that democracy does not prove rightness or wrongness of an idea. As many others have pointed out, democracy is the best form of government because of two reasons :

1. It ensures that absolute idiots cannot come to power

2. It reduces conflict ( 'You don't like what the government is doing? Too bad, you voted for it!' ).

Absolutely; it sucks, but much less so than any other option.
