Overturning Brexit without a new vote would be undemocratic. Having a new vote when so much time has passed wouldn't be undemocratic in the slightest and I feel that when people start crowing that it is, or that we would then have "vote after vote!", they're being disingenuous.

The situation with Brexit isn't really comparable with US presidential elections, because of fixed terms. They are by definition repeated votes on a temporary situation. Is it undemocratic that a candidate can lost the popular vote and still become president? Not inherently. Its obviously not pure democracy. But it is a form of democracy, and they're openly the established rules of the system, and people can campaign to change the voting system...
