    Then why don’t we institute the “Wyoming Rule?” It’s not “rule by the masses” but much more representative of what the population wants.

        Why change something when it works as designed ?

        This argument could unironically have been used to support the continued use of gas chambers in Nazi Germany.

        Just because something is “working” as designed doesn’t mean we should keep using it. If the design is terrible then it needs replaced.
