I don't get it, can somebody explain this to me, why does this stuff happen in democracy?

How can public fight government for years and lose?

How is it possible to pass a law in US that is clearly against everyone's will? I mean for all I know, most of the people are strongly against it, except for a few polititians, nobody wants this to happen, so how is that even a discussion?

because democracy only works when people actually care. most us citizens are more concerned about the superbowl than government.

Who is everyone? Again - most people don't give a shit.
