Democracy is just rule by majority. That does not always translate into good governance and protections for individual liberty. That's why in the US the constitution has a lot of mechanisms to prevent erosion of liberties (the bill of rights baked into the highest law of the land, for example) and to moderate the effects of the "tyranny of the majority". For example, many people decry gridlock in the federal government, but gridlock is the intended situation for when there is only a moderate majority for some position in the electorate. The system is designed to require a substantial majority (e.g. 2:1) in order to make lots of substantial changes quickly.
