this kind of thing is beyond retardation. > this building has never burned down so why does it need a fire escape voting is a simulation of a civil war. all the factions come together and do a head count and the side with more is declared the winner without the bloodshed and loss of infrastructure that comes with an actual war. the reason elections, even ones where your side loses, are accepted peacefully even for policies people are life-or-death passionate about is because people trust that voting is accurate. > my side was outnumbered, so had we fought, i'd have lost anyways once voting cannot be trusted people become more willing to roll the dice on actual civil war. a cursory glance at the average age of governments throughout human history when they collapsed show this. "you won't do shit," is a relatively rare and modern occurrence. the vast, vast major of the time people do, in fact, end up doing shit. these people are playing with fire in a country with more guns than people.
