I'm so tired of the threat, "If x, we will lose our democracy!" First, we don't have an actual democracy. We don't even have a proper democratic republic. In practice, it's mostly a corporatocracy now, rapidly evolving into a technocracy. And second, democracy sucks! When HALF the people who are eligible to vote are below average intelligence, we get Hank Johnson and Auntie Maxine. How can people be okay with that? The electorate should have to meet minimum standards for IQ and stake-holding.
