This guy sums up the argument as well as any I have heard...
Quote:
Everything that’s ever been accomplished in the United States [...] let’s take the civil rights movement for example [...] eventually, the Civil Rights Act, it took a majority vote. It wasn’t minorities that got the Civil Rights Act. It was the majority that did it. [...] For instance, the women’s right to vote. The women didn’t vote on it. The men did. The men passed it for the women.
