Do you agree?


not to say this is about discrimination, but more about more stringent rights given to those who deserve them.

An argument to this, is the question: Should people be given the right to vote on country matters or elections if they're so clueless and do not know fully about what and who they're voting for?
It's like giving a person the wheels to a car, when he can't even drive well.

Especially in cases like Brexit has shown, old people who know none better voting out of the EU only for the young people to suffer the consequences.
bump.

no, this is how democracy fails
This would be even more racist than voter IDs, you realize that?
I may not go down in history, but I will go down on your sister.
on the other hand, it means you won't be able to vote, so there's that

no thanks
This is a bad idea on a number of levels

This is stupid. The only people that should lose their voting privilege are the really old (like 85+ years).
I have trouble concentrating because I have 80HD.
They could get paid to vote or just pick up a newspaper and vote their way. or just vote democratic
50% are just watching, 30% are hating and 20% supporting
Trump is a result of an outcry of neglected areas never getting relief. If you want to stop situations like Trump, find a way to relieve these people of perpetual poverty.

Yeah... I can see this having the exact opposite of TCs intent, easily.
TC you should seriously stay away from government, your idea is so fucking terrible it's frankly astonishing

I said ALL uneducated people. Make it a criteria to hold at least a diploma or degree, or even just graduate from highschool.
It's funny since if I were to ask this on a Russian or Chinese forum, I'd get very different results than here.

Voter ID isn't inherently racist though to be fair...

But this idea of TC's is just so stupid I can't even begin to properly describe how stupid it is.


like how the idea of electing a dumbass as president is so stupid but hey, it happened, didnt it?

or maybe you should try learning more about politics and the different systems of governments there are. Unlike the USA where you let the young, the stupid, the old and everyone elect the most important person in the world. Other countries, it's the cabinet that elects the world leader. It's the Parliament that elects the world leader. Notice why they don't just let the whole country (most of whom know nothing about governance) to elect the world leader directly?

Next thing you know, your country is gonna have Kanye West as president. Just gotta say random stupid s*** that is nice to hear to get people to vote you.

People power! 51% of votes, oh wait, that's considered majority, despite in real fact, just further continuing the divide in a nation's populace and causing social unrest.

Why don't they just get jobs, sorta like how they demand that minorities and liberals do?
You've fought the strongest, the second strongest, the fourth strongest, and the weakest master! Now you see the true advantage of being third strongest master!

Mostly is a way to make Wyoming feel important, and keep California, New York, and Texas from dominating everything.

electors vote directly for the president. They can't choose whoever from within party.

my point is that you don't directly vote for the president, but I'm not sure why I'm even entertaining this trainwreck of a topic.

There should be voting tests to prove your ability to understand the issues before you are allowed to vote on them. I am aware of the comparison to rigged Jim Crow era tests and don't care.

anyone gets to vote, so long as they can educate themselves first. Fair, isn't it?

or would you rather entrust your share of future to a bunch of dimwits who just randomly vote for candidates since they don't follow the news or current events?

sure, wait 10 years to come and see which country is still at the top. USA and western countries are all spiraling downwards now.
No they should be allowed to vote.

Their vote having more weight on the outcome though is a different matter

I just enjoy the rhetoric where they say that sates with lower populations should have an equal say in national matters because of tyranny of the majority, while at the same time they do everything in their power to keep minorities away from the polls in the first place.

All legal citizens should be allowed to vote. If anything, rich people shouldnt be allowed to vote

that could work too. But of course, people gonna whine about ''equality'' and crap, meanwhile continuing to discriminate aliens and minorities

Well of course not, because they'd all swiftly flee to the Caymans or something.
Yes, rural people should not be allowed to vote
only people with bachelors (unless its in liberal arts) should be allowed to vote
What about all those uneducated people living in ghettos and projects? No doubt they're not qualified to make an educated vote.

Somehow I feel like your opinion will change for them. This is basically "uneducated white people who vote republican shouldn't be allowed to vote".

Rural was a dumb word to use

but it would be nice to have a basic knowledge and education test for voters.

That would only work in a system that wasn't rotten to the core tho so keep dreaming
I might have jumped the gun with my response. It looks like you don't want any poor, uneducated people voting.

Still a horrible idea.
