    Should the public be required to pass a test to vote too?

    My opinion is that nobody should be allowed to vote without proving they have a passing knowledge of how civil institutions work. But apparently denying total ignoramuses and people who cast ballots at random the right to vote isn’t democratic, so this is not a popular opinion.

      Its also been done before with pretty lopsided results. I hope you look further into the history of that one there bud.

          Uh, yeah. That question tells me you don’t know the history of your own country.

          My friend, you have just as much access to the internet as I, don’t waste it on edgelord/jabroni takes on how society “should” be run.
