@minivan55 @marwilliamson No, we shouldn’t make it easier to vote. We should encourage people to be invested and make informed votes. An uninformed vote is worse than no vote at all.

@TheGontheC @marwilliamson That’s the whole point of democracy, though — making sure every eligible citizen’s vote is counted and voice is heard.

If we are interested in expanding democracy, we should be making it easier for Americans to vote, not harder.

@marwilliamson Oh please. Extend in person voting/early voting. No one travels all the time. Absentee ballots are one thing. Mail in ballots are unnecessary. Enough with dumbing down our society to the laziest elements of it.

One of the most undemocratic things about cancelling mail-in ballots is that people who have certain kinds of jobs, including those who have to travel for a living, might not be able to vote because they can't be in a particular city during a particular set of hours.

The statement engages in a public discourse about the democratic process and the importance of voting rights. It challenges the notion of what it means to be 'informed' in the context of voting and emphasizes the sacrosanct nature of the right to vote in a democracy.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not use harmful language and focuses on the importance of voting rights, aligning with the principle of doing no harm. [+1]
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement promotes understanding by highlighting the importance of voting rights, but it could do more to foster empathy and compassion for differing views. [+1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in dialogue without personal attacks, though it could be more constructive by acknowledging the concerns of the opposing view.
  4. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement upholds free speech by responsibly discussing the importance of voting rights and the definition of being 'informed.' [+1]
