Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

MODERATORS
I'm totally for a basic civics test in order to vote. You should understand what you're voting for and what it means and why.
even if it was just this, i'd be happy.
https://allthatsinteresting.com/voting-literacy-test
And it was easy to decern this and instead of making a proper federally recognised standard you threw the baby out with the bath water and again, I'm seeing people here liking literal death threats to the person this post was originally about, is that better then having a civics test, you people act like you both have all the power and none of it at the same time.
Can you do anything other then quote other people? What you just posted has nothing to do with that I said.
It's everything to do with what you said. And if someone said something in a clear, concise manner, I'm not reinventing the wheel.
Then explain clearly for the ones in the back then. I think we should filter actually idiot out of decision making and give them social task they can handle as Iv already described.
People have explained, extensively, with few and more words. Are you being deliberately obtuse? Can you speak without snapping and snarling like a rabid cur at those who try to help you?
There is only one person itt who is beligerantly and stubbornly arguing this buffoonishly stupid idea without an iota of forethought, let alone deep, serious thought. So I will break it down in small words and after this, I am done, ignorant, hateful fool:
The same weapon you would turn on "stupid" people will as easily be turned on you. Just like the woman in the article, you seek to harm others, and may very well be harmed with your weaponisation of the voting system. Your stupidity has been loudly and proudly displayed* with every reply you typed here.
and im telling you it can be turned the other way around as well and work as intended if you hold the people in charge to account, you just don't want to hear it.
You may find this uncomfortable to hear, but that's neither accurate nor helpful.
Wow your really having a cuntniption fit over me calling you out huh. (copy and past cuz your not worth my time)
Your demonstrated lack of knowledge, history, science has me convinced that if ever a test is reinstituted, you would fail it.
Deflecting from the question and attacking my character, you psudo libs are all the same. Just a bunch of annoying pixies (lib maga types) that think theyre better then the orcs (maga types)
