Oh gosh. Why do candidates have any business filtering voters?
- Xelbair 6y agoI assume that it works more like a filter - does the voter know the promises and policies of each candidate in his region? Or is the voter voting blindly? There was an idea going around that instead of voting for candidate, you would answer a questionnaire about policies, and would be matched with best fit candidate. The questions itself would be compiled from candidates' policies, and candidate would assign the weights to each of the answers.
- IIAOPSW 6y agoWhy do people who don't even know what the candidates said have any business voting?
- htfu 6y agoThere is already plenty enough built-in momentum to not properly educate the public - "if we fuck up they don't get to vote" is some next level shit.
- IIAOPSW 6y agoJust curve the test so that 80% pass.
- m463 6y agoAt face value, that means 20% of the people (in a "democracy") will be unable to vote. Basically you are saying that some people will not have the ability to decide who will govern them. I just think it would be gamed somehow, like the games played with gerrymandering.
- IIAOPSW 6y agoAre you ok with children not voting? That right there is ~20% of the population.
