this negative democracy because these voters are focused on preventing electing someone who they don't like, instead electing someone they like. Let's assume these voters are right, someone they don't like would be the worst if elected. It only shows the negative democracy works only on not allowing the worst candidate to get elected. The goal of negative democracy is finding the worst and not letting him get elected. It's not a progressive system. It is not a system that allows you, after round and round of voting, after one election and another election, to you find a better and better persons in the country and put them into WH. It doesn't work like world cup tournament that the best team comes from every round of competition. In my opinion negative democracy is worse than merit-based authoritarianism.
