The US is not run by majority rule, the most obvious evidence for that is that the person who got to most votes in the last presidential election is not the president. If you want more evidence, look at the shape of some of the Congressional districts to see how politicians can pick their voters so that their election is a foregone conclusion.
The US has a representative government which the voters have influence on, but they don't get the final say.
