Also the Bill of rights is basically just a list of shit that we're not allowed to vote on anymore (Yes, I know that amendments can be repealed, but it's quite cumbersome).
Idk, just this over-glorification of democracy is odd to me. Honest question, when did small r republicanism go so out of style?
- maxerickson 7y agoIf a group of organized children have a big influence on a vote, maybe that's a good thing... A simple way to allow children to vote while avoiding parental coercion (the only reasonably arguable downside) is to require them to complete the ballot without the assistance of a parent/guardian.
- thatswrong0 7y agoRestricting voting in this case is clearly meant as restricting voting of (legally aged) demographics that tend to skew Democrat. There's a reason Republican politicians are more likely to oppose mail-in voting even though it's a logical thing to implement in every state. We're not talking about letting dogs vote. If we want this to be a more representative republic, we should make voting as easy as possible for everyone. So yes, it's restricting voting in this manner is pretty evil.
