lol no, they're out-and-proud technocrats. They're self-described anti-populists who think the unwashed masses are too stupid to know what's good for them and need to be ruled by their betters (read: people whose parents had the money and connections to get them into Ivy League schools)
"Democracy" is the bludgeon they use to beat the masses into submission when they need to clear room for bourgeois interests.
Whenever democracy is put into practice, they'll bend over backwards to call it any other name like "mob rule," "cult of personality," or "authoritarianism"
Notice how Ukraine went from "corrupt kleptocracy" to "European democracy" when it was necessary to whip up support for US interests in the region.
This is one of the funniest things about their ideology. Democracy is supposedly one of the pillars of neoliberalism, but voters absolutely hate neoliberals and will only vote for them to keep a worse option out of power (see Macron and Trudeau for example)
I thought these were supposed to be the "democracy over all" dorks

They love elections so long as nothing of importance or value is allowed to be on the ballot
Freedom is when so-called choices have no consequences
