"The problem with every democracy is lack of participation."
I disagree. The biggest flaw is that majority has to be intelligent to maintain a democracy.
No matter what, on every distribution curve half the people are dumber, and half are smarter. Since it's easier to target the lower half during a campaign that is who is targeted.
Look around dude. At this stage it's not about that. It's about "majority of the population is mentally retarded".
