Those sternly worded letters. Maybe they'll work this time.

It's reach is very deminished when others, apart from online fascists and anti vaxxers, are politically active.

We also haven't managed in Australia to vote in fuckwits like Trump twice or commit Brexit style suicide , so there's that.

Assume? Mate it's fact. Data shows this. Do you even know what Cambridge Analytica is?

No one is forcing people to vote. It's compelling you to go to a polling booth on election day and that measure is proven to avoid extreamist freaks winning.

And yet TIL you can't buy a Chinese EV in the USA.🤯 It's a failed state that bans such tech. Might as well be East Germany.

Anyone old enough to have had polio should not hold office.

Trump and Brexit would not exist with compulsory voting. It would be nice to see people not being played by extreamist interests and use data instead of feelings about who exactly is 'politically engaged' here.

Sure sure!

Because Cambridge Analytica? The reason good candidates don't get up because their vested enemies run the entire messaging ecosystem. You need special skills to cut through and withstand the death threats eg: Mandani

How so?

First things first, maybe.

I didn't bring it up political literacy classes in response to the idea of compulsory voting. But sure.

You don't follow because you look an ancient Greece instead of contemporary data. All should have a vote. The best way to achieve that is making it law. The majority voting mitigates the power of extremists. Brexit and Trump do not happen with compulsory voting.

The hilarious assumption that those who make the effort to vote, when it's not compulsory, are politically intelligent.

That is EXACTLY what happens with non Compulsory voting and is stymied by compulsory. Big money, evil interests are thwarted when they can't just rally their little psychos to vote like they do in the USA + UK You need to look into this more
