The majority is usually wrong and you seem to fit and want majority rule even when wrong. Just look at the Wuhan toxic jab mess. The majority took the toxic jab and soon to be 4 boosters but now look at the mess they are in. Declining immunity, no positive upside and deaths to the vaxxed occurring on a massive scale now. Stick with the majority Rascal and be wrong 90% of the time.

Trump claims he won the election. If he did then he would represent the majority. By your logic, majority wrong, he should not be President.
That is a total contradiction of democracy. That is a recipe for banana republic.

Ok, the President is elected by the majority of Electoral College votes.
The crux of this discussion is drlarrygino assertion that the majority is usually wrong.

You can win the majority of votes in a presidential election but still lose the Presidency. Think Rascal, think. Remember, Hitlery supposedly won the total # of votes (too many illegals and dead people voting in Californication)but still lost to Trump. The majority of voters didn't have it right as our great founders knew the majority is not always right. If the majority of votes always determined the winner we would indeed have a banana republic but the electoral college keeps us from having a banana republic which you seem to want to live in.
You can win the majority of votes in a presidentia... (

The majority had it wrong on the Russian collusion delusion, the Wuhan jab being safe, that Hitlery was a shoe in as our next President, that George Soreass is a great guy, that joe Bribem is good for our country, that CRT is not a racist school program and on it goes. Don't follow the majority if you want to be right most of the time.

In the House, the majority might have the most votes but they still can't pass the bill. Destroys your premise again.

If a bill receives a majority in the House it passes.
Majority rules in the House and the Senate. Bills must receive a majority of votes in both chambers before they go the President.
If the President signs the bill that that had previously received a majority of votes in both chambers then it becomes law.
If the President vetos the bill it goes back to Congress and requires a super majority to override that veto.
“In the House, the majority might have the most votes but they still can't pass the bill”. This statements incorrect. The House can not enact laws but it must pass said bills by a majority before they can become laws.
