Mandatory voting. In Australia you have to pay a fee if you don't want to vote. They seem to like it because it keeps the extremes out.
Right. The problem is that the people who benefit from the way things are happen to be the same ones who can pass the laws necessary to change voting to be mandatory. It’s not happening anytime soon.
Not to mention the fact a majority of this country (the US) is absolutely braindead politically and it will only get worse as the department of education is dismantled from the inside out.
Regardless, it’s a good idea. How many things worth doing should be thrown out because they’re hard to do?
