What you are describing is known as the "tyranny of the majority." Not a proper democracy.

This is why everyone should take a political science class. So many people here don't even know what an actual democracy entails.

Democracy gives everyone the right to give opinion...if it comes to the vote the majority wins. You really can't get fairer than that.
