Once and for all, children, voting is a privilege - not a right.
You don’t want the guy who does your tires to also be your cardiologist, you don’t want a rig hand to run Exxon, You don’t want a PFC fresh out of boot camp to plan a major offensive;
and you don’t want criminals, or the mentally insane, or drug abusers, or those incapable/unwilling to provide for themselves and their families to choose your nation’s leadership.
You have bad leaders because they are chosen by bad voters. Nancy Pelosi is reelected every two years by a margin of 80% because her District is full of gay, drug abusing (mutant?) parasites who will ALWAYS choose evil over good. If we were selective about granting the voting privilege - as the founders were - then the qualified voters would choose qualified leaders.
