Deep dives
Voting Harder in Bubble City
Voting in Bubble City operates under a unique system where property ownership directly influences the number of votes a citizen can cast. Those residing in higher levels of the city can accumulate multiple votes based on their property, while those in lower regions are limited to a single vote. This skewed system satirizes real-world electoral dynamics and prompts discussions on the impact of wealth and real estate on democratic participation. The guests emphasize the absurdity of this system while linking it to broader themes of power and representation in their comic series, 'Justice Warriors.'
