democracy's vulnerability is when you have nothing at stake and you can vote to have other people's stake transferred to you or away from them

this is how it works in corporate boards, this is how it used to be in the USA originally (only land owners voted) the entire suffragette thing is bullshit because every woman was employed to either be a housewife or looking for such a position, and unless she actually owned property and ran a business any vote from a woman is not tempered by the problem of what she may lose, she is only motivated to vote by what she can gain or what she can divert to her favourite cause
