Losing respect for Rand Paul

[Anomalocaris]

I think complacency is the bigger problem.  100 million registered voters could not even bother to get off their asses last time around.  And look at the piece of shit we ended up with.

So would you support mandatory voting? In my opinion it makes sense in a way of getting a better and more balanced sample of the population, but then it seems like more of a surface solution to a much deeper problem of people not caring and being informed about issues.

Making uninformed idiots vote will have only marginal effect on the out come.  All it will do is to ensure more money will be spent on deceptive pandering and disinformation prior to the election.

The lack of high minded sense of civic responsibility and the lack of a sense that independent pursuit of knowledge has indirect and incalculable value is really the fundamental ill.
