Unfriendly AI/kneejerk anti-transhumanism.

And, I guess you could say both, to an extent. Democrats, using the term literally, and poli-scis in general tend to worship democracy as an ideal rather than acknowledging it as a flawed answer to faulty human nature. Egalitarianism strikes me as slightly ridiculous, product of misguided need to "fix" society -- but at a macro level it's an idea that's done a lot of good things.

Voting is a crapshoot.
