Since when is it a moral imperative to subjugate one's own beliefs in order to appease/support the majority?

Since we're a democratically elected republic, and if you go overboard the majority will vote your dumbass out,

It has to do with an overstatement of their policy positions, and a complete disregard for everyone else.

You would do well to understand that standing up for a principle is in no way "immoral". You might claim that it's politically inept, and you might even be right. But to claim that the only moral thing to do is support the majority - even if said majority is unprincipled - is preposterous.
