I have seen many a democratic initiative ruined by trolls, bot accounts, duplicate accounts, and assholes. The best way to ensure that democracy doesn't spiral into Haiti is to allow only financial contributors of $5 or more to vote (once the boss man has his contributions system up and running). You want to help build this community? OK, then put your money where your mouth is. To be clear, it should still be one vote per person, whether you donate $5 or $500.

The downvote and upvote mechanism on the threadiverse has nothing to do with democracy.

Democracy is not only build on public vote. Institutions are a real big part of it. Before we vote we debate. On the threadiverse the vote system is somehow shot cutting the debate part.
