We need to bar certain people from voting

Like, I genuinely think we should have a questionnaire before each election for each citizen to see if they are mentally capable of understanding the difference between causation and correlation. If you are unable to connect opinions to verifiable fact, you should have no say in government

Edit: If you feel personally attacked by this, maybe it's time to reevaluate whether your own opinions are based in fact. I neither mentioned nor suggested that any party or political affiliation is guilty of incoherent ideas lol

If the politicians are representing the people of this country, the idiots must also be represented..

@Quetzalcoatlus The "idiots" should have a right to their own opinions, absolutely. But not to shape national policy. Doing otherwise is a severe impediment to progress

@KidAzazel That’s your opinion, I’m pretty sure an idiot that has the right to vote thinks you’re the idiot

@Quetzalcoatlus All I'm saying is, you wouldn't ask a construction worker to prescribe you medicine, and you wouldn't ask an electrician to work on nuclear physics. Why should it be any different in terms of shaping policy and the way people live their lives?

@KidAzazel A government of the people includes the ones you don’t agree with. You want to improve the intellect of idiots then help expand access education

@Quetzalcoatlus It's not about disagreement though. People can have opinions based in fact and still disagree with one another. But we should not be endangering the progress of a nation by allowing those without a proper understanding of causation vs. correlation to dictate our laws and regulations. If you can't see why, we'll just have to agree to disagree
