Never seen the series, and I know this is just within a school, but, just going by the images, it looks like they are fighting for pure democracy (anything can be voted upon) and a direct democracy (voting upon issues directly, instead of for representatives), that system had been tried before, maybe they should talk about Socrates to see how that went (logical result = piss off the majority of the people, they can vote you into a death sentence, even if you were trying to bring them red-pilled enlightenment, they also could vote to shut you up, meaning that freedom of speech is effectively dead).

at least institute a better voting method than first past the post, I'd argue with the justice-fairy for the merits of a Condorcet-Range voting system, with all the benefits of Range voting, but with a Condorcet element to pick up the Range vote's worst failings:
everyone ranks their candidates from one to the number of candidates running, refusal to rank a candidate indicates a ranking of zero, they can assign the same rank to multiple candidates, so all of them can be ranked by the voter as zero or as any number up to their number of candidates running, this is the Range part.
Then all ranks are added up for each candidate, the candidate who scores the lowest is removed from each ballot, and their points are assigned to the first place on that ballot after their removal, if multiple candidates have the same first place rank, the points are reduced to the highest number which can be evenly divided by the remaining candidates before being distributed, with a small number of candidates this shouldn't be too much, like 1 or two points maximum per candidate on each ballot.
the process is repeated until only one candidate remains, to avoid multiple candidates with the same end vote, and needing to hold another election, the natural votes are simply added again to each candidate before counting begins (meaning that each point assigned directly to the candidates by the voter are worth two, but those points go back to being only worth one when they are transferred to another candidate), this is because those ballots who gave a higher natural score to a candidate demonstrated clear preference for them, this is the Condorcet part.
Long post, but any voting system would be just as long to describe, be thankful I didn't describe the electoral college or mixed-member proportional, or any system that implements party voting, for that matter (FPTP is easy to describe, but is also the absolute worst voting system ever).
