As for democracy (the subject at hand)
Is anyone restricting your rights to vote?
Virtually everything I hear about "voter rights" these days is better
described as voter convenience.
In most states you never need to get off the ****ing couch to vote.
If people are to stupid or lazy to fill out a mail in ballot, I don't
want them voting anyway.
Before 1980.
I see you have chosen not to defend this brain fart.
Before 1980 the polls were onl;y open on Tuesday, you had to go there
and you still needed ID (no early voting, very restrictive rules on
absentee ballots etc).
If you go back a decade or two large classes of people could not go at
all and if you want to go back farther than that women, native
Americans, illiterates, people who could not afford the poll tax and
blacks couldn't vote.
We have had a pretty steady increase in voter rights for over 200
years.
The Repugnants are doing their best to reverse that.
And your posit was about whether citizens have it better. Later you
added the voting part. In an actual debate, you'd be laughed off the stage.
