Being majority means WHAT, exactly?

I understand that the US is a Republic -- but it has some democratic institutions, so the concept of "majority wins" is not alien to America.

But look at the Leftists long love affair with Affirmative Action. That's basically a ploy saying, "Whether we are right or wrong, we feel that most of society has certain feelings about people with dark skin. We feel that most of society is wrong. So, we'll stack the deck and make damn sure that the minority comes out on top, no matter what the majority thinks." They hate democracy! What's the name of their political party? I forget.

Look at filibusters. That's a ploy saying, "Most of the senate has certain feelings about pending legislation and judicial nominations. Most of the senate is wrong. So, we'll stack the deck and make damn sure that the minority comes out on top, no matter what the majority thinks." They hate democracy!!

"They hate democracy!!"

They hate anything that takes power from themselves and distributes or delegates it. Good examples you used.
