The problem with Democracy is that where it first evolved, and the only place it’s actually worked, not every warm body voted. In the Greek city-states, the property-owning free males voted, not everyone with a pulse. Democracy might work in this technological age, but only if we limited voting to those who qualify, and of course the criteria would be so highly contentious as to make this impossible.
