History is full of examples when the majority were wrong, yet the correct idea prevailed eventually anyway. I frequently hear this lament of how wrong folks are, as if thats some kind of veto. As if Democracy meant plodding along at the pace of the most common opinion.
This is a stopgap alibi, cooked up by those who prefer to not be held accountable for their power.
Just because the scale gives sharp, readable numbers, doesnt mean we have to rely on it. Especially when theres a finger pressing it down. Democracy is about best interests of the people, not facebook likes.
