i guess, but only as much as any other oligarchy. you can have democracy where the only people who can vote are people with doctorates in stem fields, or who're land owning white men, or who have their patents of nobility, or who have at least a million USD in their bank account. but really it's not particularly in keeping with the ideal that people are usually talking about when they say 'democracy'.
