The whole country would be ruled by coastal cities. No thanks

Well, what do you propose?

Sans popular vote

Democracy is dangerous to competent statecraft because it forces every political decision to be lowered to a level of stupidity that the masses can understand.

Okay

so let those with...

say a college education, perhaps

vote?

They're more enlightened...

(and also tend to be significantly more liberally leaning)

Propose? Nothing. I’m fine with it the way it is regarding voting.

So a system in which farmers arbitrarily hold more power

In which the will of ~500,000 is equal to that of millions

No

A system that protects the rural population from the cities

"protects"

No way. College doesn’t make you more enlightened necessarily. The system you want would only allow elites to vote

Colleges.. AHA

Eh, make college education more affordable and it wouldn't be an issue

I do concur, though

Direct democracy, or at least proportional representation, would make the most sense

Colleges are already controlled to push a leftist stance

IQ tests to vote

“ more affordable “ you mean tax everyone more. No thanks.

"Places of higher learning are biased to the left"

They aren't higher learning

IQ tests are elitist too?

Not even close

Lol

IQ test, above 125 to be eligible to vote

And IQ tests speaking nothing as to practical intelligence

Like university entry is based on IQ

It's generally heavily holistic...

Colleges are not higher learning

Standardized testing is even a hell of a lot more broad

They are teen day cares

Those god-damn physicists and their god-damn day cares

Anon, it's okay, not everyone's accepted to university

You don't need to feel bad about it

The people running university could also gate keep people out to control who votes. Your idea is foolish.

Those god damn diversity requirements @SilverLining
