I wonder if we should move beyond this messaging. It’s well known to the smart half of the population that climate change is happening. There is apparently some debate on the cause. But this point is mostly irrelevant, it is problem-oriented thinking. By keeping the conversation in the problem-realm you invite troglodytes into the conversation to insert their bullshit. Instead, if we move forward with “presumption of truth” solutions-based messaging, we can start to talk about what we’re going to do.

Climate control is something more people will be on board with compared to trying to have a conversation about climate science to a person who didn’t graduate high school.

Maybe those who didn't graduate shouldn't get to vote?

Presuming that you yourself have "graduated" (what from is unclear), it's particularly audacious that you make this claim because it shows rather cleanly how poor a marker of quality an education is.

The answer has never laid in ever more elaborate designs to disenfranchise particular members of the population. It's always been in building community.

A community is what helps stabilize, helps tighten up distributions, and wrestles most authentically with the general premise that we are social creatures and only as strong as our weakest link.

If you think you're going to build the perfect society by way of careful electorate curation, I have some unfortunate stories to tell you.

IQ test, global events test and platform tests to be able to vote.

With this administration? "To get your voting license, click on all the Nazis in this picture" (your click must be Biden and Hillary or your license is denied)
