Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I also recommend this video about why "first past the post" voting is terrible.
Mathematical argument showing how majoritarian democracy can lead to outcomes that are worse for everyone
Ranked choice voting is objectively better and that’s why we can’t have it
Democracy is still the better alternative to other options like autocracy, theocracy or meritocracy, it sucks under capitalism since it's only a tool for those in power to screw over the working class with hollow promises during elections. And a tool for the rich to buy the politicians who screws us. That's democracy for us today, an empty promise.
True democracy is when all those who are effected by a decision has a vote on it, and the minority still be able to have access to every need as the majority. For example "should we produce X or Y" shouldn't rob the minority of quality of life, but it also lets the community decide on matters.

The first example with policies A-C and Person 1-3 didn‘t make sense. policy A was just as popular as policy B which was just as popular as policy C. All of them were the same popularity, none would win against any other?
