What I took away from Starship Troopers was an argument for an informed electorate over a completely free election.

I don't agree with taking away anyone's right to vote, but that does lead us to our current situation where wingnuts and celebrities get elected because they attract attention instead of substantive governance.

Our problem is the capitalists, not the "wingnuts". Defund the police, if not misreprensented, is radical, but good. Certainly better than reform the police or "law and order".

By wingnuts, I mean the candidates that run on a platform of nothing but outrage and otherism.

Maybe on the right, but on the left?
