That was a city mayoral election. I guess NYC is indeed a democracy. The United States of America is not.
NYC still has a ton of money in politics. NYC still uses first past the post for its general election of their mayor.

Its a deeply flawed democracy, with mechanisms to strengthen land owning and wealthy. But it still holds real democratic potential
