Obviously yes. Added bonus is that it gets rid of the stupid left wing activists who haven't even graduated yet too.

Obviously no.  Jesus Christ.  Why don't you just throw in a poll tax and a DNA test while you're at it?

Well, clearly the rise of fascism is OK so long as it happens democratically as the will of the people Smiley

I'd rather ban college graduates from voting tbh. Educated voters make the worst decisions.

yeah, but that's like the equivalent of saying "oh well, this band aid didn't stop my bleeding, so I'll just cut my whole arm off, f**k it"

Nope, I'd sooner vote for a degree be required to drive a car or buy alcohol than I would for this.

No. It would not filter out all the dumb voters anyway.

Smilo's transition into a reactionary edgelord has continued apace, I see.

Unfortunately for him, we already have a reactionary edgelord (Cassius) and he's far more interesting and funny than Smilo can ever hope to be.

No. It's undemocratic and wrong. Lots of stupid people have college degrees and lots of intelligent people are high school drop outs.

So my grandmother wouldn't be able to vote because she grew up in a time when going to college wasn't a prerequisite for getting a decent job or a social expectation for smart kids?

Well, preventing the elderly from voting is a good ulterior motive in all of this, yes! That may be the underlying variable after all.

If you got one somehow, then people with them shouldn't be allowed to vote.

     If that's our goal, returning the voting age to 21 would be a much more effective and less authoritarian way of doing the same.
