A majority of Republican voters believe that the Trump administration is “hiding” information on people who were involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking crimes.
Yeah? How do you suppose we go about taking away their right to vote? Last time I checked, that’s not going to happen. Nor should it. Yet, here we are.
They’re a symptom of the education nightmare, of disingenuous “news” media, poverty, social media echo chambers, and a cadre of other factors. Think any of those things are going away soon either?
The sooner we all realize that this country needs a reset, the sooner we can move forward.
Edit: people are taking my first paragraph too literally. The point is that they cannot be ignored. Also, I literally say it should not happen.
You don’t need to take away their right to vote, just give a fair and proportionate voting power, which is a hell of a lot less than the voting power they have now.
You don’t have to rake it away, just make it irrelevant. They only have so much power now because First Past the Post voting systems don’t need anywhere near a majority, just a little more than everyone else. So with as few as 3 candidates you could win with only 34% of the vote.
Switching to an actually representative election style like ranked choice voting means the outliers are represented more accurately instead of getting an oversized platform their size doesn’t warrant.

It has nothing to do with how 30% vote. We already know how they vote. It’s about everyone else getting on the same page. It’s about priorities.
Everyone else is very much not on the and page.
It’s also about land having votes instead of people.

Correct.
