RE: Origin of the Right to Vote and how the system denies this right

in #politics8 years ago

The issue I have is that for all the passionate people who take the time and make an informed choice for option A or B, they will be canceled out at a 1:1 ratio by their counter. This leaves the uninitiated, unmotivated, and uninformed with a huge amount of weight as the voting unfolds. Such people are easily motivated and swayed if they think they actually make a difference

Sort:  

It isn't a question of outcome, it is a matter of principle. It about eliminating contradictory beliefs and policies.

Passive people who vote without thinking are dangerous and would be negated by other passive people. Many people would accept a small bribe to "not vote" or to cancel someone else.

To be left standing with no one opposing you would require masterful political skills.
