Great point, but kinda misleading. The entire population subject to democratic elections cannot vote in those elections. ~half of the population can actually participate in elections, because many are children, millions are help captive as slaves in prisons and jails, and many others for a variety of reasons cannot actually vote. Then only a percentage of eligible and capable voters actually vote. This results in the historical mathematical result being that ~25% of the population actually votes for the 'majority' opinion. Perhaps one violent and strapped up thug beating three unarmed and defenseless children, prisoners in chains, and elderly patients in hospice into submission would be more appropriate.

Thanks!
