Americans would cry about mandatory voting. World’s biggest snowflakes, I’m sure if that was proposed they’d just say "ugh but the constitution, freedom and stuff, stupid libs "
In the before times when we still had the rule of law, mandatory voting would almost certainly require an amendment to the constitution or else the Supreme Court would block it. Under current precedents the government generally can’t compel political speech.

I don’t think it will ever even happen because the winning party may just always think, “Good, don’t vote; that allowed us to win more easily.”

Literally saw some loser bragging about “his right to not vote” the other day. Every single one of these people is a fucking tool.
