That's certainly not how the system is supposed to work — and you seem to forget: the point of a republican form of government is to protect the rights of the minority. (IOW, prevent mob-rule.)
You nay sayers have got to begin working at a higher intellectual level.
Er, I am.
You "they did it, so we can do it too!"-sayers need to quit working at the emotional/immediate-gratification level.
You’re reading my replies at a middle school level, as judged by your responses.
Did I say our system works as mob rule?
I did not, I said that that may be how you are looking at it.
Nevertheless you lecture me about it, instead of lecturing yourself.
I should spend more time cluing you in, but frankly, I don’t care enough to do that.
