It's the only way Obama can say things like "Don't let them take away your democracy" while the DNC actively rejects things that are undeniably popular among a majority of all Americans, let alone people who register as democrats.

    I would say it does make it right. It's a hard pill to swallow but one that needs to be taken in order to orient yourself towards building a system that will work and has some strength to it.

    For the same reason that universal benefits are harder to break than means tested benefits, trying to give rights to a minority is always going to result in a perversion of democracy. Sometimes it will be good and sometimes it will be bad. But you'll never have "democracy" at the end.

      Tell the generations of black men lost to the prison industrial complex that it was right that they suffered because the majority of Americans are bloodthirsty.
