Which is why we also have a more specific term called "liberal democracy"

That's not democracy, as it's actually conceived. Democracy isn't mob rule, but is about individual self-determination and rights.

Democracy is absolutely not about individual anything.

You might want to add individual self-determination and rights to the governing principles of a particular organization, state or nation, but there's nothing about the idea of the people voting (directly or indirectly) on policy that offers any guarantee of any kind of self-determination.

Democracy absolutely can be mob rule, or put differently, mob rule is not inherently not democratic. Whether it is wise or just however, are different questions entirely, and so most democracies in the last few hundred years have supplemented their democratic systems of governance with fundamentally liberal but non-democratic constitutions that limit the scope of majoritarian decision making.

> Democracy is absolutely not about individual anything.

You can write that, but clearly most of the democratic world very strongly disagrees. We can nitpick the literal definitions of the words, but we know that people include self-determination and human rights with democracy.
