No, it doesn't. The root word for demon is the Greek daimon (guiding spirit, tutelary deity). Democracy comes from the Greek words demos (the people) and kratos (rule or strength).
Thanks for providing links to back up your argument. I understand where you're coming from now, but it's a huge stretch to equivocate democracy and demon just because they both share the same ancient root of "to divide, or part".
