Ep. 146: Does universal voting damage family and friendships? #democracy #oligarchy #deepstate

The Mindcrime Liberty Show with Dobson and Patton

The Mindcrime Liberty Show discusses whether eliminating voting would make family and friendships stronger. With the growing polarization which is occurring in the major "democracies” there is a growing trend of family, friendships, churches, marriages and business relationships being broken up on the grounds of who one votes for. Is this "rational" or a good state of affairs? Are friendships and families stronger in societies where voting obviously doesn't matter as much and/or the political system is more closed? Is this an argument against democracies? Should people date/marry and make friends with those who are strong supporters of the "other team"? Ought people care less about voting considering the likelihood of affecting the system is mathematically very low combined with the iron law of bureaucratic oligarchy?
