Bitcoin is not a democracy (have you not even read Satoshi's paper?).
Satoshi said 1 vote per CPU (not 1 vote per person) so surely you can understand that one person can have more than one CPU?
Yes, in this sense it is not a democracy... maybe a technocrazy... cpu's are voting...

So at the end the wealthy has more power. Was inevitable. But still it is some kind of decision finding. And the strongest wins because he can.
Uhhh, shouldn't the best code win?
Perhaps then, we should leave development as it should be -- meritocratic. Not based on a Reddit/Twitter political campaign.
You better hope miners don't support the mob rule Classic approach....because if this tiny minority of developers is to replace Core....it will be very dark days ahead for bitcoin.
