: Majoritarianism is despotism by any other name. The popularity of a given thing does not make it ok and people who appeal to majoritarianism tend to ignore (or evade) the possibility that they are being 'sore losers' right now because the majority arent playing it the way they want.

Aside from the fact that your last sentence deconstructs your first, you are arguing AGAINST democracy.

And that's scary.
