    Part of being part of a democracy is accepting that not everyone agrees with you. And that’s ok.

    Even when the vote is to end the democracy and replace it with a totalitarian dictatorship? 'Cause that’s what fucking happened.

      Yep, welcome to democracy. If the dems want to win, they should pick better candidates that people want to vote for.
