Florida lawmakers might not be ready to put Amendment 4 a measure approved by 64.5% of Florida voters that would give voting rights back to most felons who have completed their sentences into action. --- kin to all that throbs ... Copied to Clipboard!

Do democratic legislatures go out of their way to hobble the will of the voters as frequently as republican ones do?

They were so close to getting actual UHC passed, but then shit the bed at the last moment. I'm still salty. But too many of them are in deep with big pharma and insurance companies. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! ... Copied to Clipboard!

god forbid the majority get their way in a democracy 1.) I agree that they should have their voting rights restored, but this idea that public policy votes should always be respected is ridiculous. There's a reason we have representatives: The tyranny of the majority (or tyranny of the masses) is an inherent weakness of majority rule in which the majority of an electorate can and does place its own interests above, and at the expense of, those in the minority. This results in oppression of minority groups comparable to that of a tyrant or despot, argued John Stuart Mill in his 1859 book On Liberty.[1] A representative's job is to weigh the will of his or her electorate with the good of the country and all people within it. They often do clash. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Look man, your argument is that it's wrong to go against the will of the people in a democracy. My argument is that our system was deliberately designed to allow it.
