Why do you think secrecy in voting is widely considered to be necessary for true democracy?
- devindotcom 13y agoIt's not impossible, and while some forms of secrecy are necessary, I don't think they are "widely considered to be necessary," even if "true democracy" was a well-settled concept that happened to agree with your understanding of it. We just don't see eye to eye on this and likely won't ever.
- saraid216 13y agoYou're basically not saying anything except, "I disagree." Voting is the same type of public, political speech that donations are. Indeed, in a world where money is indisputably an overwhelmingly dominant medium through which votes are gained (that is effectively the point of donations), they are practically synonymous.
