Why not go the whole hog, send kids up chimneys and down mines, bring back the workhouse?

Universal suffrage may not be perfect but the alternatives were and are a damned sight worse.

Maybe that would stop people that can’t support themselves from breeding. Survival of the fittest, you believe in evolution right?

Funny how people cant see the wood for the trees.

People who advocate that "people ............ should not be able to vote" don't realise they are playing right into the hands of those who think that anyone with a net worth of less than $xmillions, which would exclude 95% + of the entire population should not be allowed to vote.

See how its done? they are encouraging:
- this group of people to think that group of people should not be allowed to vote because .............reason
- this group of people to think that group of people should not be allowed to vote because .............reason
- this group of people to think that group of people should not be allowed to vote because .............reason
- this group of people to think that group of people should not be allowed to vote because .............reason
- this group of people to think that group of people should not be allowed to vote because .............reason
- this group of people to think that group of people should not be allowed to vote because .............reason
and so on.

As the years go by eventually the masses would have excluded their own entire population from voting all by them selves with just a little helping hand from the powers that should not be TO GET THE TREND STARTED at the beginning.

See how easy people fall into traps.?

I think they call this voter suppression and undemocratic.

Yeah, because I really want a bunch of gender studies graduates holding our future in their hands.I

Your idea would essentially cut blue collar families out of democracy.

Perhaps only folks whom want to vote, should vote?
Or not.
Same difference.
Who cares anymore?
