They've described the opposite. A collective, grassroots, democratic institution in which people can freely discuss their thoughts and political opinions and direct the policy of their country in that way, is less reminiscent of top-down political parties with representatives voted every 4 years, and more reminiscent of worker democracy or direct democracy.

They described democracy as implemented through parliaments.

You are describing the US implementation's flaws.
