>>5434008>>5434343>Schizophrenic democracyLet me unleash a small amount of vampire sorcery. Are you aware of the mathematics of the Condorcet Paradox (sometimes a more advanced variant called Arrow Theorem)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_paradoxhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow%27s_impossibility_theoremIt is hard to articulate without some mathematics but basically, you can have individual voters in a directed acyclic graph that still produces a cyclic outcome. ie even if individual preferences are not at all cyclical amongst election candidates, in aggregate voting produces sets of conflicting majorities that cycle in preferred order, and no overall election winner. Modern electoral process often short-circuits this by severely constricting the choice set (eg rounds of voting / eliminations, or a pre-defined exclusive shortlist of choices with none permitted in combination). Then there is the paradox that if you could produce an ordered majority of preferences ie a>b>c, it would be much better or economically more efficient to just select one individual, ie a dictator, who represented this preference, and let him choose that outcome instead of incurring the costs of voting.
>tldr; a French guy in the 18th century proved that democratic voting is mathematically wrong, before America was even invented.
