Because we live in a republic, not a democracy. What is the point of electing representatives if you don’t allow them to do their jobs? Do you really want mob rule as a democracy would give us?

So it's "mob rule" every time the people vote? Wow, why are we even allowed to vote?! Gotta keep that mob under control./s

It's pointless to argue with someone, like you, who takes what is said and twists it into an absolute (and a straw man argument) just like every liberal I have ever known.

If you can't hold a fact based discussion, what's the point?

Regardless of your emotional rant, the fact is, we live in a republic, not a democracy and we have "legislative" representatives whom we elect and charge with the task of evaluating and passing our laws. Apparently, that simple concept is beyond your ken.
