Democracies do not seek to restrict voting rights.

I can now understand why the founders were so paranoid about losing democracy. Why they thought it was so fragile. It depends on moral people of good character to serve their “community” not themselves. Unfortunately for us, there are nearly none left at the top.

What an absurd reply. It is orthogonal to your OP thesis AND they are not almost all of the top. nt Bernardo de La Paz Jan 2022 #3

I suppose Biden, Harris, Pelosi, and Schumer, the four tip-toppest leaders of the whole country are not good enough for you?

Beyond those four, there are hundreds of Democrats in leadership positions across the country. Roughly half of the top. But not good enough for you?

"there are nearly none left at the top."
