It is one thing to lower the voting age — on the condition that our education system has truly prepared young adults to make informed decisions using taught critical thinking skills (looking around at this cohort, I fear the lessons have not been absorbed as well as they should have). It is another to blunder into classic cases of #Ageism. Guilty Mr Keane!Not only does it besmirch the idea of #democracy (just as, in other ways, positive discrimination and gender quotas do), but the idea of skewing votes by differentiating the value of a vote in accordance with some harebrained scheme such as using *years lived on the planet* as a predicate is a thin splintering wedge into our democratic institutions and systems. I’m not having any of it. And whiule I enjoy reading Mr Keane on Crickey News, this article is the germ of a shallow thinking IMO.

This morning we have a lot of libs on here supporting mandatory voting in the US -- "We are very smart and rational and Harris would have won if more people voted so we have to make them!" Have they even considered how laws are enforced and who they're enforced against?
A government of, by, and for the people where cops extort, hurt, and kill those very same people for not voting -- what a great idea! But of course the same goes for all their laws, so I guess yet again I'm upset that liberals aren't anarchists. Sigh.

"Mandate voting. Force people to take care of themselves and each other rather than they bow down then whimper off to take it like the sniveling minions we currently are."

Where is this obsession with mandatory voting coming from? It's a purely symbolic change with no practical effect.

CW: Overexplaining democracy sausages
Whenever the more Australian corners of your fediverse start posting multiple pics of sausages in bread, it's because we are Doing A Democracy. And we celebrate with #democracysausages because community charity BBQs and cake stalls are ubiquitous at our polling places. It's a Thing. A shared experience I feel more absurdly proud and uplifted by every time. Today is a state election in Victoria.
