Was the outcome of the recall election in Wisconsin really the "...end of Democracy"?

This guy thinks so. Even though what he was talking about was a democratic election.

Always a slow study, so I probably don’t get it.

But it seems to me that a generation of politicians gives little gifts to their voting constituency (in this case state employees), but then, later, a different generation gives different and maybe mutually exclusive gifts to THEIR voting constituency (in this case taxpayers), and the shitty little world of politics goes round and round.

So is he just upset about the outcome or is this really the end of democracy?
