Asked if the US president should change course after so many voters voted for change, Speaker Mike Johnson says he is sorry that voters “made the wrong choice”.
Clearly, Mr. Johnson does not understand the basic fact that in a representative democracy, the choice made by the voters is PER DEFINITION the right choice.

@randahl@mastodon.social Exactly what consitutes a representative democracy is a very hard thing to say. A First Past the Post system that devolves into an alternating turn at the helm of two parties is suspect for not being one. What is clear now, is that the voters have put down a really unmistakable popular anti vote to the Republican party. In a couple of cases, I believe the vote coincided with positive votes for a candidate also, but I would say that it was clearly, and incontrovertibly against MAGA.
