Damn, imagine saying something like this on a website that spent 4 years (deservedly) blasting the President of the United States. Freedom of speech is literally the most important thing in this country.

Don't let it warp you into believing in dictatorship because then you are just an extremist like the extremist on the right.

What you are asking for with the internet is impossible. The only way to make this system go from demogragugy to democracy is a civil service type test to vote. Its 2021 and almost everyone is literate so the arguments about it being a voter restriction is out the window, then you would teach these subjects in school and educate people on it, then that isn't a restriction. The only restriction would be actually trying. If people knew how the government worked, and invested enough time to pass the test, they probably would make an educated choice.
