What form of government do you want?
(P.S.-don't quote the "Representative Democracy" rhetoric; that's not the issue).
So long as the MAJORITY are electing the government (as provided by the U.S. Constitution, I might add), then arguing against "mob rule" is a red herring/whole cloth argument.
If the People are not allowed to govern, then you are living in some foreign country, (or one that has eroded from the Founders' principles).
I want a balanced government, where the federal protects rights that states want to take away and where the states protect rights that the federal wants to take away.
