A big problem the Left has with democracy is that they only like it when they win.
A big problem the Right has with democracy is that they only like it when they win.
That’s a very misguided statement.
The left is just fine with democracy, even if things don’t go our way. We encourage people to vote to change that. As long as I am able to vote in free and fair elections, I will accept the results, even if I don’t like them.

No Change because I never skip voting.
I read that exact same post and completely failed to see this opening.
I’m confident that a majority would vote for the proposition: if my brain worked the way Vinyl Turnip’s does, life would be a lot more entertaining.
There is apparently more to the story than has yet become common knowledge. Kennedy’s son is intimately connected with Donald Trump’s finances:
