Athenian democracy was nothing like modern democracy. You could only vote if you could prove all 4 grandparents were Athenian citizens and only men could vote. The crazy part was that it wasnt just token voting either, citizens were pulled from their lives for mandatory service in the senate, like year long jury duty. I think those first two conditions must be mandatory

I think that's a common thread that runs through successful democracies - that the people voting had a real stake in the future of the enterprise.

I would settle for just natural born citizens. That alone would be enough to tip things back.

No no fucking anchor babys dont get a fucking vote. Thats why we have an indian/arab posing as a jamacan for vice president.
