If we allow Prop 8 to pass, THAT will be a blow to democracy, because that will allow any majority to discriminate against the minority.

 

democracy allows the majority to discriminate against a minority if its their will.

Yes it does, and a constitutional democracy grants the rule of the majority and the rights of minorities. 

 

Thank god we don't live in a Constitutional Democracy.  Thank god we live in a Constitutional Democratic Republic.

MrBubbles can't let those facts get in his way now can he!

 

 

facts are...democracy is the will of the majority.  so its irrelevant that the us isnt because the topic was it being a blow to democracy.  and democracy cant be a blow to democracy, in this situation.
