A true democracy would result in mob rule. NYC and LA would dictate the policies for the rest of the country. Originally, only land owners could vote in elections. Land owners were the only ones paying taxes back then. I think we need to return to paying property tax only and those who pay taxes (have skin in the game) get to vote.
I'm fine with that now since I own a home, lol! Wouldn't have been 5 years ago. Although, I could see a world where rich democrats sell off tiny fractions of their land right before each election to essentially buy votes. There should be some way to stop stuff like this legally by citizen action.
