Is this any way to run a democracy?

The electoral college can allow strange things to happen. We now have a president and an agenda that the voters did not vote for and do not want. We have a president with approval ratings in the 30s and disapproval in the 50s.

We are watching this president and his party trying to push a health care bill that has an approval rating in the teens. Is this any way to run a democracy?
