I think all voters should take this test lol

Meanwhile half of congress is suffering from dementia. 

[byzantium]

Republicans’s hatred of democracy is open these days.  It’s tragic how acceptable that has become for people.

The test is mostly about US History so if you got a C or better in that class in high school, you basically passed it already. 

[poki]

Straight up some questions are

- who is the first president?

- when was the constitution written?

- what are the 3 branches of government?

My mom told me about it when she became a citizen in the early 90s.  Her trying to say the names of the 3 branches tho

I helped several people study for it, you could probably pass it right now if you know the basics of US history.

I think we might be surprised as to how many people might not be able to get the answers right

I guess the same way that this is supposed to somehow work. I don't assume republicans care to accommodate for anyone's needs but young people have jobs and lives too, shockingly.

[bad guy]

But 60+ year olds that don’t even know how to use a remote are good to go?

 

[ZIVERT]

So they openly want to bring back Jim Crow-era disenfranchisement laws. Lol

[2NE1]

Young, EDUCATED voters mind you…

[HEAVYONIT]

I mean, this is what they've been doing for awhile now. If you know you can't win, cheat. 

[Arrows]

Everyone, and I mean everyone, in a democracy should be allowed to vote.
 

That’s how it works in my country, and anyone trying to change that is only doing so to undermine a group that might vote against them.

Given the fact that public education is largely funded through property taxes you’re effectively asking to disenfranchise people who live in less prosperous areas since they’ll have a higher rate of failure due to being born into worse school systems.

[LustSpell]

Republicans can only rely on cheating because they're useless fuckers who completely and utterly lost the entire young potential voting block and are angry millennials didn't become conservative as they got older.

 

Anyone who says they respect or can agree with a Republican or "both parties are the same" in 2023 is a bumbling, virtue signaling idiot.

I am pretty sure only 5%-10% of people know this year.  And I say this as someone who has a history degree, people don’t need to know this year.

YOU CAN NOT TAKE MY RIGHT TO OWN A GUN AWAY FROM ME. IT IS IN THE CONSTITUTION!

BUT I CAN TAKE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE AWAY EVEN THOUGH IT IS ALSO IN THE CONSTITUTION.

 

Instead of wanting to keep kids from voting, why not try to appeal to them so they will vote for you?

It’s too difficult for them.
