I honestly can't tell it the was meant sarcastically.

Who defines what the "right" political idea is? And do you really want to live in a society limited only to ideas that are deemed as the "right" ones by whoever has that power?

That's kind of how society works and why we have democracy.

What do you mean? Who defines the "right" political ideas in a democracy?

My understanding is that a democracy would exist to allow the majority of a society to define what they want, and that in the US we have a democratic republic because our founders still didn't trust the public enough to leave decisions entirely to a majority vote of the public.
