Actually democracy does not mean "majority rule". The concept of democracy

The founding fathers of the US did not want a majority rule system they actually despised it and said that it was The Tyranny of the Majority. They said that it would be the destruction of any civilization that adopted it.

In the 2010 elections in Norway, the above happened. The right wing parties had more votes but still lost because each region elects a number of representatives and we got a red-green government. (The Labour party, Socialist party and the Centre Party(which is the Farmer/Rural Party) share power today)

But it's still democracy and we say the majority won. And again, the majority elects Senators, Governors and Presidents. They decide what laws they want, and apparently a lot of States have laws that clearly indicates they have no common sense.

Ease down, stop trying to "catch me". Communication errors is what it is.
