Great Comic but the creator should give credit to Ben Franklin

An example of the tyranny of the majority problem in democracy, partially solved by things like freedom of religion being in the constitution I think.. Anyone know how this problem is tackled in modern democracies?

the mechanism for the constitution to prevent this was the 2nd amendment - this is why leftist types are attacking what is the rotting corpse of the 2nd amendment. want a hard left socialist paradise? just take the guns and open your borders to the 3rd world.

the problems get bigger as more people are given power and equality. today, just an average middle class american has no more power, voice, and social standing than a dirt poor immigrant who doesnt even speak english. anyone without millions in the bank has no measurable advantage over pedro or samir who've been in america for 2 weeks - or their kids with citizenship who want to vote for "change".

democracy, much like capitalism, is simply the lesser of evils. tyranny of the majority is inherent in democracy. the only way to avoid this is homogeneity and small population sizes.

I like your comics and hope you will continue to post them, but you should know that Voat discourages submitting only your own content:

https://voat.co/help/faq#selfPromotion

Submitting only links to sites you operate (or are associated with), without submitting other, unrelated links, is considered spamming. If you submit niche content (for example gaming videos from your own YouTube channel), you should create your own subverse and submit the content only to that subverse. If majority of the links you submit are to sites you are associated with, your domains may be globally banned from Voat. To be on the safe side, if you submit 10 links to various subverses on Voat, at most 2 of the 10 submitted links may be to the sites you are associated with.

first off social democracy and socialism are not one and the same

second what I'm refering to as socialism is where all private business are shut down (ether peacefully or forcefully) and replaced with co-ops

You mean this is exactly why socialism takes over democracy? Because the poor retards outnumber the smart and or rich?
