minus-squarecapr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 年前I also think people should not be allowed to vote unless they pay a flat poll tax. Otherwise it’s a conflict of interest.
minus-squaredioxy 🌱@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up24·3 年前No, we should not have more barriers for the poor to vote actually
minus-squareNιƙƙιDιɱҽʂ@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up18·3 年前That would just reduce representation for low income people. That’s an absolutely abhorrent idea.
