Majority rule literally the definition of democracy. This is obviously in conflict with minority rights. If you care more about minority rights than democracy, fine. Lots of governments have limits on majority rule. The USA constitution is a famous example. But those limits are limits on democracy. Which make them anti-democratic. The more strictly you protect minority rights the less democratic your society is. > It's not a democracy if you have a bunch of people you treat as second class citizens. That's the purest democracy there is. A direct democracy that let people vote on absolutely anything would always produce that result.
