Yes, you are right.
Democracy is about choice not right or wrong.
Which implies a political executive is entitled to commit a wrong(may not necessarily be right). Vesting choice upon people means people are empowered to make a choice(election) and for that they are the ones who suffer the consequences whether right or wrong.
That is why it is said that democracy works good in an informed society, in the knowledge economy. Otherwise, we have democracies who perform worse than the monarchy/tribal autocracy, if not informed, and restricted knowledge base.
