Even if you don't like Trump it isn't your call who should be president, you have one vote and that vote is equal to anyone else is vote that's called equality. If you don't agree with him that is yours and your problem alone as long as pretty big part of the US votes for him. If I could vote I would vote Democratic for sure, but you can't sabotage a campaign willingly without breaking the morals of the Democratic fundamentals. You can neither say, he shouldn't be able to run for president since every American is able to do that. (It takes a lot of money or background, or a fancy political name to actually become one). |
Actually since the 2WW there's in many places mecanisms to limit democracy when it is related to protection of minorities and the warranty of fundamental rights. You know Petain, Mussolini, Hitler are products of democracies.
That's one of the weakenesses of democracy because the power comes from the majority it can have sometimes terrible consequences on minorities.
I am not saying that I am against democracy on the contraty but also think that sometimes people overvalue democracy.
