More to think about: people who would otherwise have no interest in politics would go out and vote if their favorite celebrity told them to. Imagine doing all this research to make an informed decision while the bimbo behind you is only there because Taylor Swift told her to go out and vote. All your effort to be an informed citizen - canceled by that one bimbo.
There was a reason why the country was founded with a handful of restrictions on who could vote, to do the barest minimum of filtering out.
While that has its own problems, we did already have this particular problem solved.
My proposal - weighted voting.
People that are net positive tax contributors (pay in more than they take out) should get a full vote.
People that are net negative tax drains (welfare, Social Security, government workers) count as .5 of a vote.
I would go further. I think we should have a whole range of "measures of citizenship" that each award additional votes. High school/college graduate, currently employed, military service, no criminal record, etc. Would all count.
The net effect would be that the trailer trash cousin-fucker gets one vote, and an upstanding citizen may get twenty or more.
This would disincentivize the race to the bottom we have now, where a thousand useful idiots beats a hundred well informed voters ten times over.
Seems overly complicated, hard to administer and easy to game. Nice positive benefit/negative drain binary choice would be easier.
Just check returns filed in April for people voting in November.
Oh yes, let’s give all the crazy feminists with 3 masters degrees more votes then an electrician.
Much like the incredibly simple and widely used voter id, it would get rejected for racism instantly. You know why, they know why, but you can't say it out loud.
Well of course. Like any children they cannot understand long term planning or delayed gratification. Every single thing must be available to them right now and without obstacle. Either out of "equality" or "freedom" without an understanding of why these things were denied or delayed to begin with.
Almost like property owners should be the only ones voting.
That would work if houses weren't artificially inflated with immigration and jews buying them all up.
It's not perfect, but the current system we have is untenable. We have more and more net takers voting.
Our voting system is premised on the idea that the voters are all citizens who are voting for what they think is best for their city/state/country- a group of people deciding how to spend "our" money and resources.
When you have people who don't pay into the system, they have no stake in the game, and it becomes them deciding how to spend other people's money.
Fun fact: That's the original purpose of insurance co-pays. Apparently when the patient has to pay even a small amount like $10, they only seek treatments they really believe they need. When the up front premium is all they pay, patients consume healthcare like it's free, because it effectively is to them.
There should be a tremendous list of things that lose you the right to vote. Top of the list would be any form of welfare.
There's an NPCmeme a while back with an old 70 something or so woman holding a protest sign against Trump and the tl;dr of the protest sign was something like "orange man bad, finally got me protesting", so shitlords edited the pic to an npc face and listed every major civil protest march said npc didn't bother protesting previously in their life.
