    It’s getting to a point where we can’t have a democracy if these people are a part of it, though.

    Like if you won’t do your civic duty then… you shouldn’t matter. You enslave yourself with that thinking.

      I’ve said that for the last 10 years. We need to kind of poll test to prove that the voter actually knows what they’re voting for, but historically they’ve only been used to further suppress votes against minorities, because who’s going to make the test? Those in power currently, which means they’ll craft it in such a way to disenfranchise as many of the other team as possible.

      At this point though, I truly believe the benefit outweighs the risk, and we just need to be careful to make this test. You shouldn’t have as much power as me in how our country runs if you don’t even know your ass from your elbow.
