Ha, ha.....you think?

You think maybe that’s why the founders limited the right to vote to property owners who were viewed as “stakeholders” in the outcome?

Good luck going back to that. What the idiots in charge really want is to transition to a “Direct Democracy”. They’ve never been on board with a “Republic”.

I believe the idiots in charge have no interest in a Democracy of any sort.

I don't think you need a property requirement for voting to fix things.

Just keep those on welfare from voting, like felons. It'd be perfectly legal for a state to do it, not that they ever would, but just sayin'.

There wasn't a welfare state in the time of the Founding Fathers, but nowadays, a bar to voting based on welfare would do the trick.
