Hillary 2016

Bill tries to push a "vast right wing conspiracy" theory.

Sorry Bill, but unless the right is trying to make themselves look like dopes to the American voters, there's no right wing conspiracy. Their crazy is on full display.

[Leisher]

Guy interviews woman Hillary voters about Sharia Law. They all think it's a great idea.

I'll bet they're all familiar with the day to day news on the Kardashians though!

There should be a quiz people have to take before they can vote just to prove they're not morons.

The Spiritual Successor to The Man Show's "End Womens Suffrage Now!" awareness that tons of women supported, on camera.

That ought to apply to both voters and votees.

Here.

Bill Maher: You are one of the very few people who are actually running this country. It worries me that people are running my country who think-, who believe in a talking snake.

Sen. Mark Pryor: You don't have to pass an IQ test to be in the Senate, though.

Insert a joke about Bill Maher being a talking snake himself here.

[Malcolm]

I've seen that documentary several times. I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face and finish 75% of those interviews. The dude's quite the socialist and his grasp of economics is so far off the map, it's in another solar system. To his defense, he does try to find some non-insane priests/shamans/whatever to put on camera, like this guy, who I'd support for Pope in half a second flat. Why the fuck don't they make priests like that anymore?

I forget when they stopped doing literacy tests at the voting stations, but it was deemed illegal because of racism.

Of course that will never happen; the two parties are counting on people being idiots. That's their power base.

I unironically think it should go back to only landowners being allowed to vote. It suggests the voter has their shit together to some extent.

Because those tests were frequently racist back in the day. The white dudes got the equivalent of explaining two sentences from the contemporary version of "Go, Dog, Go" while everyone else got the densest, driest, vaguest literature they could dig up from insane philosophers and overachieving playwrights or authors.

I doubt that shit would be pulled today because we have things like grading scales that can approximate how much of a bitch something is to read ... and mofos would be recording that shit on their phones nowadays.

Home ownership is not a good measure to judge anything, be it financial, political, or mental.

Literacy tests would still be considered racist now because minorities don't get the same educational opportunities as rich white kids. Therefor white privilege and whatnot.

No one gives a crap about poor white kids, mind you.

[Malcolm]

I'm pretty sure you can find a literacy class wherever you live for free with minimal effort.

[TPRJones]

But poor minorities are too busy working three or more jobs to make ends meet and have no time for literacy classes. Why do you hate poor people?

If they want to vote, they must prove they see the words as more than arbitrary symbols. Unless they have kids/G's MiL, they waste money like mad, or they're sending it home to whomever they don't need three jobs. Communication is an inescapable necessity for voting and if you can't read, you can't even point out where your right to piss away your votes on retarded people and things is guaranteed in the bill o' rights.

Well if that's all you are worried about, that's easily solved in this age of electronic voting machines. Put little pictures of the candidates next to their names. Or have the machine read out the ballot to the voter. Problem solved.

Let's also keep pulling Alzheimers zombies out of nursing homes and telling them, "You always vote democrat, so have at it."

Works fine unless your vote is something more complex than who's elected to what office. Comprehension involves more than hearing what's said. Ballots would need to be overhauled to bring them down to an appropriate vocabulary level for the mythical busy illiterates who still aren't quite sure what document gives them this "right to vote" nor how any of those words are spelled, or maybe even sound like. There are matters that are occasionally annoying enough to warrant detailed debate. In those cases, pandering to the lowest common denominator means stupifying your law. Which brings me back to the "you must prove you're mentally competent to vote, and that means fucking literacy" law. You can also go back to the voting system they had in the olden days when gov't motherfuckers would just stop by your house and you'd declare your choice on your porch in front of the rest of the neighbourhood.

Personally I think a literacy test doesn't go far enough. Each item on the ballot should be accompanied by a couple of fairly simple questions specific to that proposal or those candidates, and if you can't answer correctly and thus prove you are informed about that item on the ballot then your vote is invalid.

Do your homework or your vote is junked.

This guy breaks down her money laundering operations, and notes the MSM will never cover it.
