Technically the democratic process is when the larger number gang tells the smaller number gang what to do.

- JulianMorrison 7y agoThat technicality is a poison. When people say democracy they generally don't mean it. They mean instead a system that protects the few from the overmighty many just as much as it protects the many from the overmighty few. I honestly wish people would quit hanging this ideal on the merely mechanical idea of democracy. Since that mechanism is incompatible with it in many edge cases.
