Yes, that is how democracy works. But why work within a system that ensures I have no expectation of success, when I can instead undermine that system and hopefully cause it's collapse?
In a democratic society, if your political beliefs hold no merit then its the responsibility of the collective to decide for itself that it doesn't belong. Thats a good thing, bad ideas should be rejected. Maybe reflect on your political beliefs and see where you may have gotten it wrong. For example undermining democracy because you can't get what you want is a political belief that has no merit and should be rejected.
Yes, we've established what is supposed to happen in a democratic society. I don't see why those norms should be anything that concern me. As for undermining democracy to get what I want, it has the blatantly obvious merit of getting me what I want.
