I'd like it if we didn't even begin to consider this line of argument ("it would
probably already pass"), and I'm glad that we're remaining open to debate here (and
it should kept open for much, much longer).
If this aims to be a ~democratic process, then the approach cannot simply be "enough people are
in agreement, done". An essential goal of a democracy or a process that attempts to
emulate/imitate is not to simply assert the interests of the majority, but protect the interests of
the minorities - or, in this case, those in opposition.
