This is "the rabble" the US's founding fathers debated about giving agency to. High concepts of equality put aside, you're basically opening up political power to people who are more likely to be selfish and uninformed. By starting out only with people who had wealth, you gave political power to people who were incentivized to be more knowledgeable and engaged with the issues and what was at stake, because you had more skin in the game.

I am absolutely sure this was how ancient politics worked before a war eliminated the country, city-state, or empire or brought it back to its senses.

This quote from TS is perfect, sums it up even better.
The more I'm accused of wanting bad thing, the more I'm warming up to wanting bad thing.
Psychology. Maybe that bad thing (segregation, isolationism, Diet Coke) isn't that bad?
But the true irony is that most likely the bad thing you want is actually the good thing. Unless it's about mushroom clouds.
Bad thing good, actually.
When you're constantly told something, you'll eventually start to believe it. It's scary.
When pedophilic child sacrificing elites tell me fascism is bad. It sounds like it's about time to look into fascism
