I did read the post, but I really stopped caring when you said, to paraphrase, "I love democracy, but why can't we do what I want, regardless of what other people want." Yes, one vote matters very little. No, democracy doesn't always mean you get what you want. Yes, democracy depends on large groups of people actually putting in the effort to get their wishes heard. Yes, violent revolution is an option to achieve change, but adults prefer that as a last resort since violence often leads to death. As the old saw goes, soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box. You seem to have a great fondness for the first and the last, a grudging willingness to use the second, and a complete lack of awareness of the third.
Okay so you read it but you didn't understand it. Gotcha.
