Democracy can’t be predicated on being ignorant or having only simplistic notions. There was nothing democratic about the crowd baying for Barabbas or thousands baying for Hitler at one of his rallies. If you peddle populism or lies or promote Trump-like philistinism you are not only being undemocratic, you are being anti-democratic. Democracy, giving people political choices (which isn’t just letting them stick a cross in a box), has to be based on education and all the correct, neutral information needed to make the choice. That doesn’t mean you can’t campaign for your side, but it does mean that you can’t call yourself a democrat if you try to pull the wool over people’s eyes.
