minus-squareironhydroxide@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·28 days agoNah, go the other way. Make voting a requirement. You vote, or you don’t participate in society.
minus-squareLiz@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·28 days agoAmong other things, yeah, we really should make voting mandatory.
minus-squareironhydroxide@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·28 days agoYes. we. should. The only reason to restrict voting is to keep “undesirables” from having a say in government. In a fair government everyone should be represented. The only way to even approach that is to make it a requirement that everyone votes.
