True democracy finds the solution that maximizes the utility of all the voters, not maximizing the utility of half while completely ignoring the other half.
As do true communism. Has there ever been such a democracy? How did it found out the utility for all its voters? Sounds to me like a “no true Scotsman” encompassing all known government systems. I think you should modify your statement to something like “A democracy should try and protect the interests of its minorities, as well as those of the majority.”
“do whatever the majority says” is not democracy.
