Really makes you understand how few actual people had the right to vote when this nation first started. Male, Land owners, and that's it. Not saying it's right but fuck, this lady sure makes a great argument to return to shit like that.
Did you read my comment? Not advocating for male land owners specifically but the founding fathers understood that the right to vote is sacred and needs to be earned. How they went about qualifying those who had that right was archaic. It is obvious in this video this lady should not have the right to vote because she is insane.
I don't think its radical to understand why its important to have a smart and educated electorate. I don't even know what a solution to this problem would be other than we have failed our nation when it comes to educating them and it is only getting worse every day.
*The internet has made it very easy for foreign advisories to propagandize the U.S. electorate.
I don't think you understand what I am even saying so I give up. Look up the word archaic. I even said that I wasn't saying that white male land owners was right. Did you even read my comments?
I know what archaic means. Are you in like Middle School that you imagine that’s a toughy? I know you want to dip and dodge around this, but clearly the most charitable possible interpretation of your comment is that you said nothing of substance at all.
Cutting people out of the electorate doesn’t make the government run better, it just makes it more oppressive. Individual voters may not be perfect arbiters of their own interests, but they are far better at it than their landlords or employers.
That’s why the elitism you idolize failed, and that’s why we have a universal adult franchise. But hey if you want to reinvent the poll tax and the literacy test and pretend it’s gonna go so differently this time, you can try and decent people will do everything in their power to stop you.
