It depends a LOT on the nature of the "democracy". What you say is true of a pure democracy. The majority rules. But that can be very very bad if the majority decide to do something stupid or something evil. In the US we have a Constitutional Republic, with the people's representatives democratically elected and bound/limited by the Constitution. There's a vast difference.
