I'm not so sure of your 51% number as the actual number in either of the last two elections, but I'd take that flip of a coin number any day. |
But the US government is not run like a board room is it? Half of our representatives are democratic. In a buisiness the 49% has no say, and is SOL if the 51% want to screw them. That is not how our government is. Especially since many decisions take a 2/3 majority. So lose the terrible analogy.
What do you mean 51% is not an acurate number? Bush won by the skin of his teeth. The majorities in the congress are razor thin. Are you contesting that the country is basically evenly divided?
