We’ve done that. What about a republic led by women instead? Clearly if the problem is with democracy instead of just Mr. Musk’s misogyny that should be fine.

In general I don’t take anyone’s suggestions seriously when they propose taking away other people’s agency

Oh shit, I had no idea there was a democracy/republic nation without male sufferage. In fact I was under the impression that in every country except 6 the majority or entirety of legislators are male. In fact I was fully under the impression that in the vast majority of the world men are disproportionately represented in government. Thanks for enlightening me

My point is that even though most can vote, the actual decision makers and power brokers are overwhelmingly "high status males".

But yeah it never is some retail worker making their way to congress
