Pretty much any limited voter group will be incentivized to make decisions in its own interests, even if it hurts everyone else.
People calling for such forms of voting assume total benevolence and, on top of that, perfect knowledge of the struggles of others, better than those struggling know themselves.
Total democracy allows everyone to remain self-inrerested and doesn’t require guessing the needs of others.
Also access to healthcare (including mental health and crisis lines), education, emergency services, social care, transportation, communications (both physical and virtual), general infrastructure, and that’s just the absolute basics. You’d need so much more than this to build a prosperous society.
Not to mention free access to drugs requires doubling down on healthcare, peace and order, community service. Also, drugs and guns are a very questionable combo.
In other words, if we would actually have a limited circle of politically educated voters, you’d likely be out.
