No I was saying you was saying not having everyone allowed to vote is undemocratic.

People in starship troopers have the right to vote, everyone has the same right. It just has to be earned. They see a vote as something of value and not to be given away to someone that doesn't care about it.

But in your example white men chose to give the vote to more people and men chose to give it to women. So the few can choose to expand the vote to others that may disagree with. That's against what you said with those with the vote will make it harder for others to vote.

History shows that to be false.
