OK, so what are some outcomes democracy has produced that you really, really don't like.
Democracy is a way to move away from bad outcomes.
It stands opposed to what came before it. Dictatorship.
But people must be educated to understand that it is far more than just voting for the corporate candidates chosen by the oligarchy.

That’s not what I asked. I asked what are some bad things a democracy has done.
What are the top 5 worst things ever done by a democracy?
Electing Hitler? Electing Hugo Chavez? Roosevelt interring the Japanese? Truman nuking the Japanese? The Bay of Pigs? President Ronald Reagan?
The people not being smart enough to stop voting for corporate candidates chosen by the oligarchy?

People do bad things.
In dictatorial systems of power the dictators abuse workers and exploit workers and steal from workers.
In democratic systems this is much less likely.
And the sad truth is people never question a system of control as long as they doing the controlling, or imagine they will be the one doing the controlling.
Slave owners and the people profiting off the torture of humans didn't question the morality of what they were doing because they were born into that system. They imagined themselves to be fine Christians waiting to go to Heaven.
Blindness to the immorality one is born within is a common human trait.
I see it here every day.
People do things.
And a democracy is not a magic force that prevents people from doing bad things.
It is just the only legitimate form of power that exists.
People that bad mouth democracy have no conception of legitimate power.
Democracy doesn't do things.
People do things.
And when power is limited by a well functioning democracy with Constitutional protections people are less able to do bad things.
And democracy is the only legitimate form of human arrangement.

OK, it's officially "can't". Thanks for wasting everyone's time.

That's the theory, we want an example of a system you consider sufficiently democratic that has voted in a way you don't approve of.

A good democracy is a bottom up democracy where representatives arise from the people and they are respondent to the will and needs of their constituents.
That's not the theory.
It is what is required.
Without it you have a pseudo-democratic process polluted by individuals with too much power and influence.
In the US these parasites on the body politic are generally the very wealthy.

I'm asking you for an example of a democratic action that you don't approve of.
Just one example.

Just one example.
In which democracy?
The US does not have one.
You also claimed that there is some tyranny of the majority when as we see more and more people allowed to vote we see the opposite. We see rights expanding.
You also claimed that there is some tyranny of the majority when as we see more and more people allowed to vote we see the opposite. We see rights expanding.
And again you refuse to provide an example of a democracy voting for something you don't approve of.
