  • It could maybe be useful information if the questions, answers, and test taking process are all public and non-binding.

    Like, they get a pen and paper and a quiz appropriate for high school seniors. They’re filmed taking it in a classroom, and the results are all public. Different institutions can grade each test.

    If you want to vote for the guy who says “the president writes laws” then that’s on you.

    If conservatives try to make it like old timey literacy tests, it’s non binding so it can’t so much harm. Might even make them look bad, since it’s all public.








  • given democracy doesn’t work when people vote based on vibes or propaganda feels.

    Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of people are primarily vibes driven. Everyone is, in some cases or other. For example, a lot of otherwise reasonable people will flip their shit if you suggest eating less meat for environmental or animal welfare reasons. You just get excuses and variations of “but i like it” and “but i’m a good person”.
