Yes, that's the ideal way to do it in a democracy, isn't it? The will of the people should prevail.
- scarface74 7y agoNow we are going to have a government board that decides what can be advertised? Since the majority of Americans are Christians does that mean in a democracy people can decide banning advertising for mosques? What if the majority decided to ban commercials featuring gay couples? Interracial couples (a large percentage of Christians in the south still think interracial marriage is a sin)? With the electoral college and each state having two senators regardless of population giving a disproportionate amount of votes to smaller states, what are the chances that they would ban advertising for companies that employ the “liberal elite” in California? The “will of the people” led to laws in the south like Jim Crow, laws against interracial marriage, and criminalizing homosexual sex.
