A shot at some day finding a bigger fool than you to buy your shares for more than you paid.
Apparently they don't value them very highly. Goog and Googl are only about 2% apart.
Or just in a so called blue chip. What meaning does 1000 voting shares of Ford really have?
Then why don't we ask the same in a democracy?
The number of shares is the wrong number to reason about, it's the percentage of control that is interesting. If an individual has 51% (or more) control, the comparison to a democracy is obviously nonsense.
(I used 1000 shares because it feels like a big number of shares but is still an utterly insignificant portion of Ford, which has a bit less than 4 billion shares)
In democracy, you can spend money on a PR campaign to sway many millions of votes your way.
And as another commenter noted, once a candidate is in place, lobbyists can pay to get proper legislation passed.
Finally, voting is rigged in any place where voting computers are installed, which appears to be a lot of places. Again, for the right money, you can completely change the course of an election.
