Unlike in elections where a government mandates voting for one of the presented options and obliges compliance with the outcome, Bitcoin allows greater individual autonomy.
core and their sponsors done mandates.. and now 99.9% of nodes are core. and any brand not core are treated as the enemy that should fork to an altcoin to see who follows (you know this, even you read your forum wife's mantra)
we are no longer in the era where different brands openly operated on the same network and can openly offer their own proposals
all proposals have to go through core moderation and are dismissed before even becoming code to then allow users the option of individual autonomy
cores prefered proposal gets coded and nodes just upgrade to stay compliant to core, without there being a proper vote of if a proposal should activate or not
learn how consensus has changed and the activations of proposals have changed. make your 2024 mindset different to the shadow echos of your forum wife of previous years
