But removing voting rights and ending democracy is exactly what the right wants to do.

This is almost like a version of tolerance of intolerance that we see on the left sometimes.

I'm not tolerating intolerance. I'm saying stripping voting rights from people is not the right answer. I'm really not sure how you got that twisted...it seems that you agree that removing voting rights and ending democracy would be a bad thing. Yet you're advocating for it anyway? Can you explain that position a bit more clearly?

In my opinion you should spend your political capital and energy on influencing others to vote for candidates you support, rather than spending it advocating for the end of democratic voting in America.

I’m not agreeing or disagreeing. I’m making an observation.

The right has the right to vote. They want to vote to elect Trump. Trump wants to be a dictator and end democratic elections, removing everyone’s right to vote.

I will agree that education is key. Having an informed and educated society is the only way to have a working democracy. But the right also wants to eliminate education, so that’s a problem.
