    But it’s much simpler than that. Do you believe that decisions made by the majority of citizens are legitimate and valid even if they go against your ideas, yes or no? If the answer is yes, it doesn’t matter if your ideas are to raise or lower taxes; it doesn’t matter if your ideas are for healthcare for all or none. You believe in democracy, and then we’ll decide which team you’re on and whether it’s ‘better’ or ‘worse’ ethically.

    I’m not from the USA, but from the outside, it seems like there are a lot of people who don’t accept decisions unless they align with their ideas, no matter how much popular support they have. And those ideas can be great (and may align with mine), but imposing them is never a good idea.
