I'm not sure that you made that as clear, at least at first, as you may think, and I'm not sure that "debating the proof behind" your opinion rather than your opinion itself isn't a distinction without a difference.

Democracy =/= concensus. At least in our form of it, democracy = majority rules.
Nor does the fact that the majority rules mean that other opinions are not taken into account. They might be or they might not be.
