democracy only works when the voters have a stake in the outcome, eg, shareholder elections

otherwise, it is just a way of injecting your agenda by promising other people's property to those who have no stake in the outcome

the original democracy invented by the greeks literally was based on this rule (only the landholders) and even the original form of the democracy used in the US federal government was also similarly bound to property ownership

so, it's a nice idea, but you are downstream from the source of the poison
