re: #235 LudwigVanQuixote

The great failure of our democracy is that we have allowed morons, superstitious freaks, paranoid delusionals and general low class scum balls the same voice as productive people.
Think about it. Those people in those interviews have barely a functioning 5th grade education. By what sane standard does their vote count the same as someone who isn’t mentally deficient?

What you say is true, but it would be even worse to set up a gate-keeper to keep out the rif-raff. That would be a post open to immense abuse, and a sure path to the reinstatement of a nobility.

The real world is far from perfect. But it could be worse.

Good night all.
