    If you immediately think of race when someone observes that some individuals are less informed than others, you really are telling on yourself.https://twitter.com/DavidOAtkins/status/1371178399020974082 …

    Of course this is a racist and gross excuse for voter suppression. But also worth noting that a largely uninformed voter will make better and more moral decisions than actively misinformed voters whipped up on hate by cultic organs of disinformation. https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1371165615164162051 …

        No Dan. You know exactly what you're doing, caping for the voter suppression activities of the Evangelical White Identity Party.

        As I white man, I grew disgusted with politics over the last few years and didn’t pay as much attention to some races as I normally would. I didn’t vote in those elections because I didn’t know enough. Simple.

        Right. The commonest form of uninformed voter is the youngest voter.

        This thread neatly encapsulates the challenge of having a rational discussion between anti-racists and the classical liberal/equal opportunity crowd.

        I immediately hint of counting gum balls in a bowl. That’s how you know enough to vote.

        “If the first you think of when someone proposes a new “quality control” test for voters is how similar arguments have been historically used to disenfranchise black people, maybe you’re the real racist”

        Something tells me Dan would be amenable to a compromise that allows “uninformed voters” just 3/5ths of a vote.
