"Majority Rule"

Interesting Data Point #1: By this fall, four of the nine Supreme Court justices will have been appointed by presidents who entered office after having lost the popular vote.

Interesting Data Point #2: To take control of the U.S. House of Representatives, Democrats will have to win the national popular vote by 11% (55.5% to 44.5%).

Democracy: a government by the people; rule of the majority

These data points don't fit too well with the definition of democracy; it all leads to a very depressing conclusion.
