Are You Pro Voting?

I'm pro compulsory voting, absolutely. I don't think the benefits would outweigh the massive problems of disenfranchising a lot of people. If we want people to feel like there is something bigger than ourselves, right, that we have some national identity or we have some collective community that take me away their right to vote for the people that lead us is a pretty big loss to that idea. High information voting doesn't track any of the platforms of the major parties. The way that they lean, it doesn't really lean left wing. It's not really libertarian. We'd have stronger protection of say abortion rights and increased protection of immigrants. But that's the biggest trader to do compulsory voting.
