Vivek has some crazy ideas. I feel like that’s how change happen though. There are decades of presidents that tow the line, they make changes that are incremental and then BAM there’s an FDR and society is fundamentally altered. Vivek could be that guy. Not saying that’s a good thing. FDR wasn’t all good either. But big swings could be good right now. Lots of tools exist that have never existed before.

I get the attraction of the citizenry test for all voters. But it seems like it would be a hard pill to swallow for the left.

We have a lot of dumbasses voting. On both sides.
