    Sounds more like we need to more heavily regulate sources of misinformation, rather than deeming some people too stupid to participate in the system.

      The same Constitution that upholds the right to vote is the same one that protects freedom of speech. I consider both options equally damaging to the underlying fabric of this country. The point being that republicans are already eroding the foundations of this nation to poison our water and air, shift wealth from the poorest people up to the richest, steal the money we’ve put aside for social services, and implement a Christian theocracy. It’s happening, so we might as well throw out the constitution as well, but use that gap to build a society where people are protected from discrimination because of immutable characteristics, and that builds for the long-term health, wellness and safety of it’s citizens.

        Preventing corporate entities from presenting falsehoods as facts is not a meaningful infringement on free speech.

        If it is, then it’s clear that truly free, totally unrestricted in any way speech isn’t a good idea.
