Because shit like that should die with you

Which part do you have a problem with?
-
None, just practicing some trolling jabs. There's a war coming with #density so I need to work on my game. No h8

No h8, but if you do come up with anything feel free, I definitely don't need an echo chamber for these thoughts, a good debate could come up with solutions that anyone is amiable with.

Also if someone doesn't know anything about politics and chooses to abstain I'd rather they didn't vote anyway. How would you even enforce such a law. As for IDs this was already tried and abolished by the supreme court in Arizona for being unamerican.

My thoughts on the mandatory voting part is in line with the countries that have instated it, political parties became more moderate and the population became more informed. The average charge for not voting was about 25 dollars American. Low enough to not be true enforcement, high enough that you would chose to do it. The polls also had an abstain function, but a vast majority decided well if they have to go anyway they might as well do it right. Political parties no longer have to engage the fringe/fanatical who are guaranteed to show up to secure votes, this leads to a more majority based political system. Id cards, I too would chafe at the thought, but in a fashion we already have them. Your social security card was never meant to fulfill the function it currently has, but it is commonly used now as a second form of id and is wholly unsecure containing no certificate encryption and no photo. There is no real tracking and thus citizens are constantly having their identity stolen, instating a universal id, with encrypted hash values, voting registration and mandatory employeer registration would have multiple benefits, lessening identity theft, health record tracking, voting registration, lower illegal hiring practices, etc. I don't personally like the idea of being tracked, but every citizen is already so far on grid there are far more benefits to having a universal id than not.

I can see your point but try convincing people you're keeping tabs on them for their benefit. (Not exactly what you said but I'm already seeing it get spun into some horror story by your political opponents)
-
I do see the backlash to openly admitting to tracking, but hopefully everyone realizes they are already being tracked/categorized/logged already be it credit cards, phone bills, taxes, employment records, rental/lease agreements. I could hopefully spin it as a more secure version of the social security card(which in a fashion it is) that has added functions to lessen identity theft (a hot ticket item).
