    You compare a flawed democracy to a non-democracy. Imagine moving the poorer half of America to one state, giving that state a single elector and letting them only vote if the vote so far has been perfectly split.

    The US is on paper a flawed democracy and in reality an even more flawed democracy. The roman democracy did not even exist on paper.

    Maybe its not that deep, i just don’t like when people call Rome a democracy, when it did really come close to one. Or compare them to modern systems of government.
