What does the word "democrat" mean in this sentence?

The phrase should be "Effective sales management is a great "democratIZER" for small firms. To "democratize" is to make things more "democratic."

Larger firms are more "aristocratic" insofar as they have economies of scale, better connections, deeper pockets, etc. But sales is the lifeblood of business. It is one area where a small firm has a chance to compete successfully with a large firm. That makes things more "democratic."

A great democrat would mean a great means to give you equal opportunities. In democracy everybody has the same chance, rights, weight, or vote.

Therefore, a great democrat would make sure that all have a leveled playing field.
