People are upset because you are or are coming across as a Trump supporter but what you’re saying is exactly right and is one of the problems with democracy.

Democracy sucks when it’s the dictatorship of the majority and it’s even worse when it’s the dictatorship of the minority (i.e. due to non-voters) and that’s what democracy has become.

It’d be grand if elected officials were representative of everyone, not just their voters (really: their funders), or if we didn’t need elected representatives at all.

American democracy is a few steps removed from the ideal democracy and that itself is removed from ideal governance. To get ahead of questions: yes I’m advocating for self governance, consensus building, free association, and other aspects of left-anarchism
