I don't understand why people think they should be able to vote on things like this. Especially when they lack the necessary credentials to have an informed opinion on it.

So what are the topics people should be able to vote on? I don't think people have the necessary credentials to vote on immigration, drug price regulation, social media regulation? Why let people vote at all, they don't know anything apparently.

How about the nuclear button?

I’m curious where you personally draw the line.

		Using a nuclear strike first on the whim of an individual POTUS? First use should be heavily debated and almost always avoided. In response to {immediate pressing life threatening conditions at scale} .. they can be discussed and game planned well in advance and voted on - even if that vote is limited to a large pool with a breadth of military and diplomatic experience. The current US practice of "POTUS can, like, do whatever" is pretty tragic.

I mean, why do we let people without property vote in the first place? It's really only people with a vested interest who have something at stake.
