Democracy encompasses all opinion ... Ann was part of that process, and a very valuable part too.

Um, no...a democracy is not exclusively majority rule like you describe

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

Potentially, through tyranny of the majority, a disliked or unfavored ethnic, religious, political, social, or racial group may be deliberately targeted for oppression by the majority element acting through the democratic process

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