Uh, yeah. Why do people act like this is a bad thing?

I’m a big fan of the fact that when someone is pissed off at me they’re not allowed to just punch me in the face. I’m also a big fan of the fact that someone CAN metaphorically punch me in the face if I manage to piss off a whole slew of people, elected by and comprised of my compatriots, with various systems designed to mitigate emotionality and unfairness.

Duh this is a strictly good thing, when paired with democracy.
