I'm always amazed that some Western countries don't let former convicts vote. In Serbia even current convicts can vote, atleast in republic level elections, not sure about local elections.
- RickJWagner 5y agoIn America, unscrupulous politicians explicitly target voters by demographics and fill the airwaves with propaganda aimed at steering the vote.

The saving grace is the 'representative' form of government, where at least some sanity can be injected into the process.
