How a minority overrules a majority

How a minority overrules a majority

A timeless example of how a single-issue minority can trump a majority:

[Prohibition] was all they cared about. They didn't confuse their message or dilute their power by bringing in other issues in which other people within the organization could disagree with.

It enabled them to build this incredibly broad coalition from the KKK to a lot of members of Progressive Party because they only cared about this... They created majorities by taking their minority – that let’s say is 10 perfect of the electorate in a given district – and delivering that 10 percent to a candidate to give that candidate the majority.

Take lessons; apply to present. Lather, rinse, repeat.
