The King In Yellow
Quite hyperbolic. Sorry but I don’t see a point for further engagement, I don’t see me your you benefitting from continuing this exchange. You don’t want to engage nor reason, you like to deflect. Which is a fine strategy to look smart, but it doesn’t further the discussion.

You might not want to look into most voting mechanisms used in representative democracies…
Voting is voting. Nobody was talking about fair, equal etc votes.
Right now the way votes are cast it imperfect and can be exploited by using sockpuppet accounts, but this can change at any time and switch to a polling service. Is that better? Well maybe, electronic voting is hard.

You see a problem where there is none: Don’t like voting, find an anarchist lemmy instance. Don’t like this either? Open your own. That’s the beauty of the Fediverse, you’re not prisoner of a centralised platform, the same service, the same information can get to you via any other instance.
