What is Democracy?

Is anointing Kamala as the new nominee, part of the democratic process?

Or should the people have a say?

According to Wikipedia, Democracy (from the Greek root words, dēmos, meaning people and kratos, meaning rule) is a system of government in which state power is vested in the people or the general population of a state.

Under a minimalist definition of democracy, rulers are elected through competitive elections while more expansive definitions link democracy to guaruntees of civil liberties and human rights in addition to competitive elections.
