    Majorities can be misled.

    Trump is actively and increasingly popular

    A bloc of fanatics actually gets their way when organised. That’s democracy.

    You dont believe in democracy. Democracy is people collectively deciding, and you dont like what people are collectively deciding.

      You sure changed your tune quick! What happened to this not being likely? What happened to it being pointless to block voting for criminals because they simply wouldn’t be that silly?

      I believe in democracy. But I also believe in education - and you guys over there in the US aren’t good at either of those things. You have a corrupt, shambolic democracy and a failing education system that churns out dumb, blind followers to feed it.

          Sounds to me like you are the one who doesn’t believe in democracy… because that’s not my take.
