I honestly think we should have a 20 question multiple choice basic 8th grade civics quiz before people are allowed to vote. We no longer have an electorate that's informed enough to be capable of voting. Score 60% or higher on that quiz or get the fuck out of the booth.

It would have to be coupled with assurances that all children are fetting and equal civics education to avoid the whole segregated schools being crappy thing.

Instead of blaming the voters that showed up to vote, please reflect on why 10 million people who voted for Biden simply didn't vote for Harris and think about how elitist thoughts like "being too stupid to vote" in a democracy are the root of the problem.
Instead of calling voters stupid, try to understand why they feel hopeless under the current regime so that the Dems can re-establish the working class solidarity and big tent coalition that gave Obama a confortable majority. There is not path to 270 that can neglect the very real and tangible concerns of those "idiots".
