What’s wrong with a barrier to voting? The founding fathers only intended property owners to vote. I would modify that to say that only people with a positive net worth should be allowed to vote. When we give everyone the right to vote they vote themselves benefits at the cost to others. Do you like high taxes? Big government? Loss of freedom due to government interference? That’s what giving everyone the right to vote got you.

Of course they vote for their own interests. If you restrict the voting to only property owners or net worth levels then you will only get their interests.

It’s all philosophical anyway because voting was gamed a long time ago. All the different points of views, national priorities, and potential solutions for 350M people and somehow we boil those down to only two options? Red or blue.

The same two options that love to get the edges of their supporters geeked up over social politics and play the our side vs their side like a sports event. Yet what they pass into law is the taxes and interference while everyone is arguing about what they want you to argue about. Lack of choices is the same not having a choice.

I like the way you think. I also like the way you are open to discussion and different perspectives. My response to this comment is to much to put into text. I hope someday to share a bottle of whiskey or smoke a joint with you and have some wonderful conversations. Keep doing what you’re doing. NOSTR needs people like you.

Whiskey is good but I’d rather a beer and I’d love to sit and shoot the shit you.
