No. Democracy is rule by the people, the demos. Might actually be ‘the mob’? Technically in the original greek its tyranny or violence of, i think (or it would be demoarchy) but i digress.

It’s perfectly possible for the people to rule collectively without centering elections, and, if you really wanted to telry, having any voting at all. It just requirws the ability yo imagine literally anything being better or just different and weirder than it currently is.

You’re tied to the concept of daddy doing things, of decisions being far from the people.
