See, the problem with the argument presented there, is that it completely ignores a bunch of what actually happened during that times frame.
The American Revolution was a complex time filled with compromise between those who actually believed in democracy, and those who were horrified by it.
And then the French Revolution happened, and the rich jackasses got scared. Well, the smart ones were scared.
Which is all meaningless because there have been 27 amendments since then, and those change the rules, letting more people have more of a voice.
Basically, the summation of the argument is thus, if voting didn’t matter, then the rich assholes wouldn’t be working so hard to keep you from doing it.
