Mostly. The people in a party pick their candidate, and the people of the nation pick which candidate they prefer. Of course strictly speaking we don't live in a democracy, we live in a republic - in a direct democracy every citizen votes on policy and takes turns serving as legislative, executive, and judicial figures (a la Athens in ancient Greece). Of course that doesn't scale up very well, and a republic is an acceptable alternative.
