    IDGAF if they’re so selfish as to prioritize a moment of wellbeing over civic duty. So yeah, I’m invalidating them.

        Are you talking about feeling too tired to spend 20 minutes voting 3 times every 4 years or cutting out your own heart to give to someone?

        Cause in the the latter case I agree and in the former I say buck up mate, we live in a society and that means doing stuff for people when we don’t always feel like it.

          Voting quality doesn’t improve with greater turnout. There’s a duty here, if we declare it to be such, but it yields no benefit.

            So firstly that is a non sequitur. Either we are talking about whether the sacrifice demanded is unethically steep or we are talking whether the initiative is ineffective.

            Lets put that aside though, just making a note this is a separate point to explore.

            I would first ask what you mean by voting quality. Could you explain?

              They mean some people shouldn’t vote because their opinion is low quality and should be ignored. It’s an anti democratic belief that the stupid/misinformed shouldn’t vote.

                I think we should let people say what they mean themselves if we want to understand each other.
