16. I know this might come as a shock to you, but you being disappointed at an election result doesn't
mean we don't live in a democracy.

There will always be a small group of people (on both sides) who never will be satisfied with anyone their party nominates. This has always been the case, and will always be the case. But the existence of such groups doesn't imply we don't live in a democracy -- it just implies that they will never be satisfied with the result. That isn't inconsistent with democracy at all -- in fact, this will be true in ANY democracy.
