HN to me is a enigma. I see comments on here a lot lamenting simple majorities for presidential elections being a necessary for a “democracy”, and now comments describing simple majorities being un-democractic.
I am not making a comment that either is good or bad, just it seems that what “democracy” means tends to be pretty damned subjective.

It might also be that both sets do not overlap much. Nerds have always had strange opinions about what democracy is.
