It doesn't matter how many votes there are or how many times it's done, it's not democracy if it's not the outcome you like.

There's a saying (I paraphrase): 'A good compromise is one where everyone is equally unhappy'.

Guess you could flip around your comment and say it's not democracy if it's the outcome you like!

This could be interpreted as a snarky comment, but is actually on point. A good democracy should function is such a way to afford for an outcome that maximize the satisfaction of each individual.
