You know what a significant minority of people is when they have a majority? A majority.
I'm not saying they're not idiots, mind you, but you can't go against the will of the majority (dumb as it is) and still wave the "democracy" flag.
On a related note, this is why democracies suck: at least half the people participating are below average.
- lisper 11y agoWho is waving the democracy flag? Certainly not me. I'm waving the fourteenth-amendment equal-protection flag. The United States isn't a (pure) democracy. Never has been, never will be. Thank goodness.
- aaronem 11y agoYou're actually waving the tyranny-of-the-majority flag, in favor of equal protection for minorities. I'm not even honestly sure what to call that.
- lisper 11y agoCall it what you like. I'll call it the Equal Protection Clause of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.
