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.
Oh yes, let’s give all the crazy feminists with 3 masters degrees more votes then an electrician.
