If this issue got put to a straight referendum, and won >80% of the vote, would it then be democratic?

See my earlier comment.

This is simple stuff.

Are you guys being disingenuous?

[bratwurst3000]

The problem is they see democracy as only the power of the people and not the power of the people in humanitarian context. So if 80% want to kill 20% that’s ok with them but wouldn’t be ok with people with a humanitarian democracy view.

Would you apply same approach to abortion laws? Because technically it is legal killing people.

Tyrannical democracy vs humanitarian democracy? (Tyranny of the masses)
