What restrictions should there be on voting

"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…"
-Winston Churchill
Making suffrage an entitlement and not a right guarantees a slow death for it.

Citizen service inevitably leads to stratocracy, with the "servant" class deciding on further rights for themselves and making their class more exclusive.

I agree, we should restrict voting rights. Otherwise you wind up with presidents like Trump HAAAW GOT 'EM

In all seriousness restriction on voting rights is beyond retarded, especially because 'restriction of voting rights' basically winds up meaning 'People who disagree with me shouldn't vote' to most people.

Stupid people have been voting in the US since the beginning, and things have more or less worked out fine.

I just think that if you aren't paying taxes, you shouldn't be allowed to vote on new taxes or how collected taxes are spent.
If you are getting more money from the system than you are putting in, you aren't a citizen you're burden.

In this sense, very few people living in Scandinavia would be regarded as citizens.

There should be a multiple choice quiz with ballots that include questions based on what is on the ballot. You must get a C or better for your vote to be counted.
 
We should repeal the 26th amendment since most 18 year olds are retards like most people here were at 18. The sole exception to that should be if you're serving in the Armed Forces. And we should restrict convicted felons from voting unless they've been pardoned by an appropriate official (governor, president, etc.). We should tighten ID laws since anyone who's allowed to vote, who wants to vote, and ends up barred by those laws is a literal idiot (look what "idiot" meant before it meant retard)--I mean holy shit nigga, get you a goddamn ID, it isn't hard. Also retards shouldn't be allowed to vote since a savvy tard wrangler can use their tards to vote multiple times.

I’m in favor of one, arguable, restriction. Voter ID. You have to prove who you say you are, that your not casting a dead persons vote and that you’re a citizen of the nation. You can attach a basic civic literacy test everyone has to pass to it and I’m talking basic. Who is the president, how many senators does your state have, just enough to establish you live in reality. I’m not sure about dual citizens though. Do they vote in two elections or do you make them choose one? Maybe whichever one their primary residence is in.

If humanity was not spiraling down the drain, I would want hereditary monarchies to make a comeback. If not to tone down the volume on political banter, then to also provide us one day with a monarch that has Down syndrome or some other mentally retаrding genetic abnormality. The USA is positioning itself to elect active homosexuals into the presidential office, and I believe a mentally retаrded king or queen could do better than whatever our neo-Sodomite population democratically votes on.

I also would find it transiently interesting to see just how many pro-choice people would protest for the abortive murder of a potential monarch if information were to leak that the baby was not developing correctly. Such protests would just prove that not even democracies can survive in a world conducted by sinners.

Still waiting for Obama to be publicly executed, but as for "cripples, Catholics, and lunatics": they are not consumed with a satanic passion to drag as many souls down to Hell with them as humanly possible. Homosexuals are psycho-spiritually bankrupt. They cannot love, and they have a very limited emotional palette that is governed by pride and envy. Look at how much damage they have already done to our country without having an active homosexual in the presidential office. But I would even wager that Barry Soetoro is a homosexual, although not overtly. He put the American people nearly $9 trillion USD in debt. Economic warfare like that can only come from a satanic faggot.

White cismales shouldn't be able to vote, we already screwed this country up.

No, seriously only people who own real property. People who lease or rent shouldn't get a say. Section 8, sorry. Tenant in an apt building? Nope. This land is your land, but only if you pay for it.

People who are forced by economic circumstance to rent technically are paying for it, they just don't have any ownership over it.

Restricting voting to land owners (or veterans, or civil servants, for that matter) would just be a slippery slope to a new aristocracy.

I rent, not Section 8, pay my taxes, have no tugboat, and would find it criminally simple to purchase one square foot of my parents' front yard to evade that.

It's incredibly easy to decide gays are evil when you decide that everyone who does something evil must be gay.

Being a legal citizen of the country means you have a stake in the process as far as I'm concerned. People have tried convincing me that only landowners/veterans/what the fuck ever protected class should have sole voting rights but that always struck me as bullshit. If you pay taxes--and you do if you're a citizen and not a criminal--you have the right to help decide what the government can and can't do to you. Disenfranchising felons I'm fine with because they fucked over society. But taking that right away from say, welfare recipients is autistic as fuck.

I've located a small problem. Welfare recipients effectively don't pay taxes.

FWIW, "no welfare recipients" is a restriction I can see my way clear to. If you've inverted the normal financial relationship between yourself and the state and are a beneficiary of it's charity, saying you can't vote until you get off the dole seems fair, just to make sure that Tytler's maxim ("Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government, it can only exist until the people discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public purse") doesn't happen. The decisions need to be made by people who are paying the bills, because they're paying the bills.
