I bet, in many places, that if there was a vote tomorrow to kill your neighbor enough would participate to establish majority and everyone would be killed.
It really is that simple.
Republic, frens, republic.

Democratic method is fun, but it really shouldn't matter who is in office as long as they are promoting the Republic in a way that best serves it. The duality created with the party system is just a dividing tactic. Being a land owner meant that you had stock in the Republic which meant you got a say in who would represent you. We could even keep the Democratic method if we could get the people to pay attention to what is going on, but that ship sailed long ago and hasn't made it's return voyage. Perhaps that is what this is. I think it was Adam ruins everything that suggested that women during the suffrage act didn't even want to vote.
they slipped us out of a democratic republic and into a full blown democracy. With technology we don't even need representatives anymore.
