I think there's a good chance some of those stakeholders who voted equally for both parties, were doing so as an attempt to get both sides to negotiate like adults and stop doing stupid things.

Anyone doing so was intentionally excluded and will stay that way. They were voting for and enabling an attack. Ignorance is not an excuse. Thanks to these ignorant people, I personally lost 31,249 of my own STEEM on Wednesday, and I that's a small sum compared to a few others who lost millions.
