It's the only way Obama can say things like "Don't let them take away your democracy" while the DNC actively rejects things that are undeniably popular among a majority of all Americans, let alone people who register as democrats.

    Ahh gotcha. This turned semantic then we agree I think. The difference is that I wouldn't lump those things into "democracy." To me democracy is literally that simple. The result (as you point out) is that sometimes democracy can lead to injustice. If I might try and put words in your mouth to demonstrate this:

    I would say "achieving democracy isn't enough if there is still injustice in the world"

    You would say "if there is injustice, then you don't have democracy"
