What if everyone voted? The case for 100 percent democracy.

Particularly when the system is rigged like it was in the Soviet Union, is in N. Korea, or Venezuela. Then you have dictators and single party rule claiming they were "democratically" elected.

It's especially ridiculous when they start saying trump supporters are terrorists and then demand you vote.

It's appropriate to "plead the fifth" in this scenario.

There is no indication that the system here in America is rigged, nor would it be if we had 100% turnout.

"Rigged" clearly means to you an election you'd never be able to drum up enough support for to win.

So you cynically fold on the whole thing while indulging all the lies that WOULD corrupt it.

That doesn't mean it couldn't become rigged.

Well, their reasoning is that Trump supporters should be identified and disenfranchised from the process because they are terrorists and support Trump. Only "reasonable" and "rational" people should be allowed to vote, and 'they' will determine who those people are...

The authors of our Constitution limited voting to only White Men over 21 who owned land.

They did not want women, minorities, or non-landowners to vote!

Apparently our beloved FOREFATHERS were a bunch of wig wearing white powder faced Sissies, Racists, Misogynists, and Supercilious Snobs! [Geeko Sportivo]

Presentism fallacy. No requirement to be 'white' was ever required.

So, you somehow think it's better that a responsible citizen is forced to vote, then hands in a blank ballot because they don't like the choices on it than if they ignore the process all together?

Yes, because then you're actually participating in the process you're bitching about.

Let me stop you right there..

You are NOT the arbiter of who is and isn't informed.

Your personal judgment when it comes to that is highly, HIGHLY suspect since I have caught you on numerous occasions bullshitting about things like election bills and oil prices.

Still have no clue what democracy is, huh?

A democracy is government by popular vote. There is no constitution and no representatives. It is an unstable form of government, usually dissolving into an oligarchy or dictatorship before long. Athens became a dictatorship.
The GOP is an enemy of democracy, and should be.

The United States was organized as a federated republic. That is the form of government the GOP supports.

No, they're being forced to go through the motions.

Like I said, you're a bitch.

You bitch about the elections, you bitch about your choices, you bitch about not wanting to participate.

You're a bitch because all you do is bitch, but you don't ever follow through on anything.

I think you just like to bitch.

Some people just like being bitches and you're one of them.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
