If you vote against an administration, should you be banned from all government services and entitmments for the duration of that administration?

Interesting dystopia lol, hmmm what principles would that violate...

• Fair play
• Secrecy of the ballot
• Human rights
• Citizen rights
• Democracy
• More... ?

Absolutely not. In a democratic republic, the government is intended to serve the needs of all citizens.

[emeraldsaphire]

Only if you also don't have to pay any taxes or follow any laws. Outside of natural ones

Libertarian utopia lol

Not at all. that's the goal of a secret ballet. So people can not punish you for your political belief.

[DryGermanGuy]

Not sure how you would vote for or against an administration? Do you mean like a vote of no confidence? Does that exist in the United States?

[Agape93]

It does but it's meaningless. It's when you vote against the party that currently is in charge of your area, state and nation.

[Danny_dan92]

No, because voting coincides with the 1st amendment. You have a right to speak your mind and have an opinion

[worldscolide]

No, but those that did not vote at all (meaning didn't vote for or against) should not get to have a say or a right to complain.

[Twalli]

Then what's to stop that administration from saying that elections aren't needed, they know what's best. No dissent, because you can't, we are in a dictatorship. Let's say you like this now, would you like it if the other side was in power?

[lightbulb27]

don't think so.

But maybe there should be an "opt out" option.

[MrChinaski]

Can't you just send them to a gulag for a few years?

[andreasderjuengere]

I should rather have additional benefits for having been right after all 😄

[kissmyring]

No, why would someone want that?

[Agape93]

Just genuinely curious to see who does

[kissmyring]

I don’t know many people who think either that little of their fellow man or that highly of their favorite franchise that 100k deaths is a worthy price to make your fanfiction canon

[Agape93]

Wrong post lol

[FreyaRed]

This isn't the idea of democracy.
