The next person may not be trying to establish sharia law. He may do something otherwise unpopular. Yet, instead of being able to implement the policy (again, assuming he is not changing the fundamental institutions of the government itself), he was ousted by a popular uprising. The result is chaos -- not democracy.

There has to be some continuity for democracy to mean anything.

In the U.S., some have almost crossed the line into seeking a "popular uprising" to remove a democratically elected President who has (for the most part) not done anything to harm the system itself.

Instead of organizing and campaigning within the system for a candidate to seek the Presidency at the end of the current President's term, they want defeat the system itself.
