Southern Baptists overwhelmingly call for a ban on gay marriage

Even if it were possible to wipe out all the simps (i think you're being too simpsational), we'd first need to positively identify all the simps (good luck with that) and then have a democratic vote on whether or not to wipe them all out. Therein lies the problem; in order to be a fully democratic decision, the simps would also have to vote... and they wouldn't vote to have themselves wiped out. This is why we need John Rawls.

Democracy only works when the outcome of a vote is a decent proxy for the outcome of a fight. If they are not in sync, it is simply time to fight.

That is why people who vote but would not fight, are the main destabilizing factor in a democracy. It is obvious that they should not be allowed to vote either. When the civilized alternative no longer works, we simply have to switch back to the very basics of how political power truly works.

Since democracy automatically becomes destabilized, I don't think it is a good system to govern a country.

Um, yeah. Down with democracy. What we need is a good theocracy that correctly channels God and doesn't get confused by any ambiguities in God's messages, eliminating erroneous interpretations (or maybe eliminating erroneous interpreters is more like it). I think Ayatollah Godelian would be fitting. We can make it happen for you if you want. Give in to the temptation.

You did not understand the argument. That is why you invented a stupid straw man.

Oh, so democracy is a good system to govern a country. My bad.

You are a born idiot, aren't you?

You are commenting on what I have said without understanding what I have said.

The problem is that repeating the same explanation in all its nuances does not help with an incorrigible retard like you.
