Forums:

2016 Presidential Elections 65M votes for Clinton 62M for Trump

2018 House 60M voted for Democrats compared to 50M for Republicans

2020 Senate Republicans represent 153M people Senate Democrats represent 163M people

Poll 51% of Americans want removal to 45% that don’t want removal.

 

Do you think Republicans would be content with minority rule?

That's the rub about the country being set up as a federal republic rather than a true democracy and how a lone cowboy out in Wyoming has much more say in the how the country is run than a gaggle of Californians.

I get that we are a federal republic and that the framers tried to level the playing field. But minority rule isn't a sustainable way to run a democracy. They have already arbitrarily raised my taxes and are trying to make the air I breath dirtier than the vast majority of my state wants. I just don't see them stopping there.
