Isn't that all a democracy is, here and IRL? It's a popularity contest.

Donald Trump is one of the worst candidates for the US, but he's still going strong. He's popular, that's how he's doing so well.

Democracy is voting for who you want to vote for, even if they're a bad choice. That's what we're doing and there aren't many other options.

However, demotions I do think might need to be done in a different manner.

I suggest perhaps we handle them with staff only votes. Rollbacks, admins, mini-admins, etc could all vote on whether or not to demote someone. This would prevent large amounts of people from voting just because their friend voted or because they like the person.
