Personally I don't believe anyone without skin in the game should vote (i.e. mandatory property ownership). You should also have to pass a cognitive test.
I don't vote anymore because I could give a fuck about "society's" rules. I live by my own rules.
I agree with some of this. 2 party fucks up everything as does the electoral college where these largely irrelevant hick states are seriously over-represented. This dilutes *my* vote because i live in a populous state.
We need multiple parties and let them work together.
Owned property != skin in the game. I have to disagree with that. You don't even truly OWN property where I live. You basically lease it out from the government via property taxes which you purchase the right to do.
There are many ways we all have skin in the game. Paying taxes is far more of having skin in the game than owning some piece of land somewhere.
