    If you mistakenly equate democracy with pure majoritarianism, you wind up with all kinds of goofy, irrational conclusions.https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1381686564531679233 …

    If you think pure majoritarianism is paramount, as @jonathanchait seems to imply we should, ask yourself how popular Jim Crow laws were in states with white supermajorities of the population.

        As if we didn't write the Constitution, in many ways, specifically to counter rank majoritarianism. The Bill of Rights isn't just a suggestion. The fact that many state governments have violated our federal Constitution on innumerable occasions isn't counter to that.

        Can I also take this opportunity to mention that capping the House at 435 seats in 1911 has had a rather deleterious effect on our democracy?

        Athens doesn't get to dictate what democracy means, and regardless, Athens wasn't a dictatorship of the majority or anything close to that.

        Dan’s view gets incoherent when combined with federalism. If there’s a state supermajority saying you can’t vote and a national supermajority saying you can, what happens?

        Or really, how are we even calculating supermajorities if we aren't respecting voting rights?
