Given the divisiveness of the country and such belief in the falsehoods started byy the political machine.?

Question

Do we as a nation even deserve to vote. I mean we are so willing to believe each and every lie that comes down the pike. Even those that prove to be false are still being told and retold. The scary part is that they are being taken as fact.

What say ye?

Answer 1

If you have people stupid enough to believe what ever their told then you have the perfect machine to vote. If you have a group of people who knew all the truths than you'll have a people setting up their own government filled with their own lies. There has to be a better way to decide these things other than giving the government money to spend on god knows what. Do we even need politicians anymore? The internet has become huge why couldn't the people of the U.S. decide what they want to do with their money other than rich people who have no connection to you other than you live in the same state or district decide what to do with the money.

Answer 2

Not every one buys into the propaganda.

Our job is to coerce people into doing their own research instead of reading the material that is handed to them.  

Answer 3

It may be true that the vast majority of the public is ignorant of the issues and the facts, but if there would be some kind of "test" to determine who is "fit" to vote, who would choose the questions?  It's kind of a catch-22 situation.
