Losing a popular vote is criminal?

If you break the law, you get in trouble. If a popular vote creates a law (many states allow ballot measures) ... or if your peers elect a legislator who then passes a law ... and you don't follow that law ... it's a crime.
This goes both ways: the rich helped make the Vietnam war happen, that war instituted a draft, and perfectly peaceful, law-abiding citizens who wanted nothing to do without colonial expansion were forced to fight or go to jail.
It's 100% shitty ... but again, people are going to be shitty sometimes. All (American-style) democracy does is ensure that, despite that shittiness, we don't start killing each other over it every fifty years or so.
