tl;dr; It's not really about democracy at all, that's just a post-hoc justification for your anti-corporate agenda. Incidentally, badly implemented environmental or discrimination laws can also negatively impact quality of life, just as badly implemented trade laws can. Why aren't you concerned that bad workers may file bogus discrimination lawsuits, just as tobacco companies file bad lawsuits. (See Ellen Pao as an example.) But I guess that stuff doesn't count, because it doesn't inspire the same negative feelings in you that corporations do.
