That's funny, when the GOP barely won in the past, they've always immediately claimed mandates and so forth. Yet that apparently only work FOR them. Well fuck them, they don't get to arbitrarily decide when the majority votes means something. Besides, they've only won the popular vote 1 time out of the last 6. Ideally the GOP will waste away to be a footnote of craptastic corrupted idiocy in the future.
And you don't understand how the U.S. government is supposed to work. Let's examine ACA. That was passed by a majority of both houses of Congress, who in turn were elected by their citizens. The President signed it. It was upheld by the Supreme Court. Yet the GOP, the butthole of politics, tries at every step to kill or unfund it.
What EXACTLY do republitards suggest as a mechanism to running a democracy, if this MOST OBVIOUSLY constitutional method of passing and enacting laws, is apparently not good enough? Republitards don't believe in the legitimacy of government, except when they control all branches. So fuck them again, scumbags that they are.
And as for voting, yeah, lots of people don't vote. Makes us kind of hypocritical when we invade other countries for bullshit reasons, mostly having to do with beefing up profits and defense contractors that the previous VP was head of, under the theory we're bringing them freedom and democracy. Those same unassailable values that various dumbasses here don't bother to use?

Did you know that Iceland is the oldest democracy in existence? And, by the treatment received by bankers and politicians during the most recent financial crisis, it is the best performing democracy too.

If all else fails, lower your standards.
