Yeah modern democracies are worthless. Take the Republican form of Government outlined in the constitution and make it where you have to be a stakeholder to vote. That means you're voting because you have an interest, not because you have a heartbeat.

By "stakeholder" do you mean "landowner"? It's hard to tell.

landowner. its been done before and should be done again. im done commenting though because i dont wanna read their commenting guidelines and the admins already started whining at me. buhbye, dont worry, nobody will ever care about actually fixing democracy, so this landowner thing wont go anywhere.

I get that you're leaving because the "admins are whining at you" but before you go I just want to say that I think your idea that only landowners should vote is unhinged and not democracy at all, but rather feudalism.

Good luck.

speaking of unhinged, that isnt feudalism and isn't even close. its being qualified to vote. but like i said, nobody will make any serious effort to fix democracy, so i wouldn't worry about suddenly becoming a medieval peasant subject to the local lord.

Being a citizen is the qualifier to vote. Democracy means everyone votes - taking the right to vote away is the opposite of fixing democracy.
