in a democratic system of government, if you “don’t have the numbers to get things done”, you lose. that’s the whole idea.
That's never been good enough for the Democrats.
When they're in the majority, they are all about how important it is to do what the sacred majority wants.
When they're in the minority, they're all about the need to do "what's right," even if they're idea of "what's right" is rejected by the majority.
