    This is obviously repulsive given the adjacency to Jim Crow logic, but the argument that people need to be informed to participate in politics perpetuates an infurating perversion of what makes people valuable in a democracy.

        The entire point of the piece is that there is no such thing as a “completely uninformed” voter!https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1371165615164162051 …

        Just because everyone has the right to vote does not mean everyone *should* vote. If your vote would be entirely uninformed, you should - as a responsible citizen - choose not to vote. https://twitter.com/gelliottmorris/status/1371164989076205570 …

        This assumes that democracy is, in fact, valuable. Democracy is not the end. It is a means.

        If you see someone write that they don’t think people who are completely uninformed to vote, without mentioning race, and YOUR mind immediately thinks they’re talking about a certain race, I think that says A LOT about you. And what it says isn’t flattering.

        Too many people vote as-is. We'd be better off if only people who met some intellectual standard could vote. Just bc standards were inappropriately applied in the past doesn't mean they can't can't appropriately applied today.

        Your argument is both racist and asinine, and therefore I deem you unworthy to vote. Anyway, my standard is that only those with a college or technical degree get to vote. (There go a hugely disproportionate share of Trump voters.) See how problematic this is?
