@ashtonbthinks I think the original limits on suffrage were about making sure independent(ly wealthy) people would vote

@i_contemplate_@ashtonbthinks no way to produce a country comprised only of Cincinnatus-es. -
@bitemyapp@ashtonbthinks Nonetheless there should be pushback on the 'voting as a right' meme after 100 years of marching in its direction. -
@i_contemplate_@ashtonbthinks I'm ambivalent. Restricting suffrage in this country wouldn't change much in outcomes. -
@i_contemplate_@ashtonbthinks worth considering that the elites of this country do not, as a rule, share your views. -
@i_contemplate_@ashtonbthinks Rather the State wither so that voting is more about local issues than play constitutional musical chairs. -
@bitemyapp@ashtonbthinks 'State wither.' You're using this unironically? :) Not a bad thing of course but do you see it happenign?
