And only land owning men could vote. You know, people with skin in the game.

If we ever get around to where we can pass constitutional amendments, this would be one of the ones I support. You must either own land or pay taxes. (Bonus: Solves the voter ID problem since the papers you would require to meet these criteria also identify you)

People with no skin in the game have no business with an opinion on these matters. They'll just vote themselves gibs and vote against paying for them.

You don’t understand how the deep state works. They corrupt and subvert. Pass that amendment and watch as within 100 years city people can split one of those small apartment houses with a yard into 1,000 shares tor city dwellers, but rural folk will struggle to acquire enough land to qualify. Adding new rules will never stop something caused by corruption of culture and education.

Universal suffrage is still a mistake.

I disagree, tds takes all walks of life. There is no class of person inherently more resistant than others. Culture, education, etc. are the factors.
