Our system was built by elitist landowners in such a way as to concentrate power away from the populace and keep it in the hands of the wealthy. They were terrified of "mob rule," of voting being a universal right. We've never really been a democracy, by design.

I’ve always asked when the US became a democracy because I’ve never seen it in my communities(despite what de Tocqueville observed). And I always point out how the constitution was a racist document (as was Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address). Nations here were supplanted for this one.
