Why do you feel that Python is (or ought to be) democratic? It isn't, and it should not be. Your opinion is, I am sure, given weight when decisions are made, but ultimately those decisions are not a matter of "consensus". Why should the policies be revised? Because some people are coming in who don't like them? Poor reason. Being impolite will tend to reduce the weight your words are given. Demanding change is usually unsuccessful unless you can demonstrate a good reason for that change to happen, and I don't just mean "I hate your policies and I think it's time you reviewed them".
