>2.28% of people have an IQ under 70, deemed significant mental retardation
>In the US that works out to over 7.7 million people
>They maintain the right to vote
No-one else sees this as a problem? The number jumps to 54 million if you count those under 85 IQ (the level at which you'll be rejected by the US Army). Is this the root problem with democracy?
>include retards - they're manipulated into voting how those in power wish
>exclude retards - smarter people only vote in their own self-interest
Surely there must be a happy medium?

Cmon guys, stop replying to bot threads and have a decent discussion, for once?

85 is the global average IQ btw.
I'm legit not sure intelligence exists at all, but if it does it starts well above 120.

No, those people will simply vote according to their community leaders or not at all. They don't form a separate voting bloc, they are proportionally distributed(ignoring the whole race thing for a sec) . If there was a drooling imbecile voting bloc that voted together and made specific demands, they'd be a problem, but idiots don't coordinate.

The real issue with representative democracy is how it can be subverted upstream of an election by controlling who becomes a candidate. That's why I propose we stop holding elections and transition to a sortition based system.

sorry but there's like 4 Sidney Sweeney threads I have to reply to

I highly doubt that many of these people vote. Only about half the population does anyway.

I disagree with you both, because you're forgetting an important factor - imbeciles are the most susceptible to media influence.
>If there was a drooling imbecile voting bloc that voted together and made specific demands, they'd be a problem
That voting bloc absolutely exists, it's called "CNN viewers". That's the problem.

She's a fucking psyop bro, they're gonna build her up as America's sweetheart sex symbol and then have some 'Iranian' murder her in 2027/2028 to overcome the sign-tapping and drive men to fight for Israel.

Only those who have positive numbers when subtracting bottom right from top left should have a say in how society operates.

Implying voting matters and we all aren’t just crammed into this economic zone sweat shop controlled by a few dozen executives extracting our labor for their new world. You are granted the illusion of choice and nothing more. If you subscribe to a political party you are very low IQ.

Grim, I know.

After everyone who's main income is government related (contractors, toobigtofails, subsidized companies and so forth) must also be excluded I assume. A high-paid guy at Boeing is obviously wealthy because the government pays gorrillions every year to Boeing because (((they))) have decided that. Or do you still entertain the idea that (((capitalism))) is something else than a scheme by those who own ametica?

That shit stopped happening after the tumblr war

decent discussion ended that long ago? damn

Make only those able to solve a rubix cube eligible to vote

>>520887232
You know the idea of certain people having more votes, or their votes being worth more? What if we made that way more granular, and every persons vote has a numerical value based on several criteria in an equation? Something like (ballpark on the spot construction):
>Vp=(Ce+Ct-W)x(IQ/100)/(1+Oc)
>Vp = Voting power
>Ce = Contribution to Economy
>Ct = Contribution (taxes paid)
>W = Welfare
>Oc = Offenses (criminal)
seems fair to me
