What political science work is it ignoring?
- hef19898 3y ago
  Everything regarding how democracies and voting work. There countless of ways how it implemented, studies on how those affect outcomes, you name it. I didn't see a single reference to that body of work in this blog post. In short, everything.

      Yes, the whole post is a flaw. Because, as so often, it tries to argue simply based on logic without considering the basics of the covered topic.
