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.
No. You'd end up with 100 million assholes writing in "Mickey Mouse."
People have to stop pretending that THEY are not the problem.
I do not see that day coming. I suspect in 2020 whoever gets the Democratic nomination will suddenly be the victim of a Putin-backed report that 20 years earlier they told a joke that the snowflakes will find offensive and run to their safe spaces to hide until it is all over and then they can come out with their signs and marches about how miserable the Orange Turd is.... but once again they will have done nothing to stop him.
This country is fucked. I'm glad I'm old. I do feel sorry for the young people but I'm glad I don't have grand children.
