Democracy is people voting for what they want, sure. But that doesn't mean certain votes cannot be undemocratic. Plenty of dictators and all-in-all Really Bad People have come to power in completely democratic ways.
Abusing the system is also common: Democracy doesn't mean "immune to abuse". For example, say if I'm a dictator in a particular country that benefits immensely from throwing wrenches into democracy in Europe, I might want to spend a lot of money on intelligence attacks in Europe to push completely democratic propaganda for parties that benefit me.
And "democracy" doesn't make you immune to propaganda.
