Not sure I agree that the irrational outnumber the uninformed, but I agree completely with the other part so much that I want to quote it myself when the opportunity arises.Uninformed people aren't as bad as irrational people, and irrational people are far more common too. If you think that this only applies to one party, then you're one of them.
Yeah, I guess there are a lot of uninformed people.Not sure I agree that the irrational outnumber the uninformed, but I agree completely with the other part so much that I want to quote it myself when the opportunity arises.
If someone can't make enough money to buy a house, they're probably not the brightest crayon in the box.
Alright then forget the symantic argument of the driving issue. The moment someone simply takes your license away, you will complain about your rights. But, you are missing the point.
Applying a test does not affect your right. All you have to do is prove to society that you are responsible. Not everyone can purchase a pistol, yet it is your right to own it. Yet you will also be screened to ensure that your past behaviors do not contradict that right. If you wish to carry (right to bare), you will pass a test. Voting for people that will send troops to their deaths or to commit murder on behalf of the American people is a responsibility that should absolutely involve a license. Pass a test...and earn your right.
The constitution is a BS fall back that serves all people in their quest to design an argument. Laws and responsibilty build society. Constitutions do not.
Who decides who is "uninformed"?
"Uninformed" is sometimes a euphemism for "with different ideas" or "misinformed" or "not as enmeshed in the details" or the like.Note that I'm not asking if uninformed citizens should be allowed to vote. I'm just whether you think they should vote.

Considering that a huge percentage of both true liberals and true conservatives vote, I think it would be unfair to say that anyone shouldn't vote.
Better is that everyone vote regardless, and then we'll get the kind of government we all really deserve.
Better still is to part the purple myth with a massive yellow center just for the so-called "uninformed", dividing blue and red in a conquering fashion to where the most that can be seen of these political minorities is a greenish and orangish haze.
Even better, is to give the massive yellow center their own party based on the philosophy of liberty and justice for all Americans.
Once they have something of true value to rally around, well, it's quite likely they'll be a whole lot less uninformed.
