A properly functioning democracy IS the majority - the people - majority rule, minority rights.
While there is always room for criticism, it should be constructive, not constant carping by the self-interested or the unrealistically idealistic or those seeking indirect power over the majority. Vocal minorities seek to overthrow democracy - the will of the majority - to implement their own minority agenda over the majority. Such a system of rule by the minority over the majority is Oligarchy, not Democracy.
