The more I think about it, the less I want women to vote. Honestly though I’d prefer if no one voted and we had a strong Christian nationalist regime in power.
It's a really tricky thing. On the one hand, it seems like the common man should have some way of holding shitty leaders accountable. On the other hand, voters are easily manipulated by media, and it's easy to just block out candidates from funding and exposure if the system doesn't like them. It almost seems like we shouldn't have elected leaders but should have some sort of harsh penalties like death or exile when they are being corrupt. I don't know how to implement that, though.
You know, shit like this is a real argument that women's suffrage was a mistake. What an absolute clown show.

I joke about wanting a good Stuart monarch...
But stuff like this makes it less funny.

It’s an incredibly difficult balancing act. Likely was never going to work on the scale we have nowadays.
