Trumble 07/04/21 9:44:34 PM #9:	If you support this because you believe your side has more support but is just too lazy to vote, it's probably for the best that your side doesn't win. If your concern is about the people who actively refuse, it's not like they're going to suddenly make a meaningful choice. They'll either spoil the ballot, or if that's too risky, they'll simply pick at random or pick a joke option or something like that. It just really doesn't achieve anything useful. --- No soap, Trumble! <cite>Trumble posted [p:955750603] in Should vot...

Aristoph 07/04/21 9:45:02 PM #10:	I'll just go ahead and say it even though I know it's not popular. Yes, it should be. Democracy fundamentally doesn't function if the people don't participate. That being said, I think it should be incredibly easy to get exceptions and the punishment should be extremely minimal. The whole point should be to make voting the default choice, and if you don't want to vote you should have to make a conscious decision to opt-out. Of course, this all hinges on voting being made incredibly simple and straightforward for everyone to do. If we're sticking with the setup we currently have, then no, voting shouldn't be required by law. Because it's far too difficult for many people currently to do so. And the people in power are doing everything they can to make it harder. --- PSN ID: Aristoph https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj5ydFYxnEODxpQeBswmiAA <cite>Aristoph posted [p:955750614] in Should vot...
