gollark: Or I should just be supreme dictator for life, then made immortal and supreme dictator for eternity.
gollark: To stop tyranny of the majority, elections should be decided entirely randomly.
gollark: The specific bizarre way it's arranged gives tons of power to a bunch of arbitrary regions, especially ones which are likely to vote either way.
gollark: Anyway, thing is, the electoral college is not actually a very good mechanism for giving rural areas more power, that just works as a pretext for it.
gollark: But not split proportionally *by area* or something.
