Voting is both a right and a responsibility. The American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man, the foundational document on human rights in the Americas, recognizes it as a duty. Of course it is *also* a right that should not be restricted through poll tests or other means.

It's why the British elite converged on transphobia. A few people cared a lot and the rest went along! Similar thing among these losers.

What about two years in a row of Nobel Prize in Medicine being all Americans? Or that every scientific category had at least one American winner last year?

I don't know why different sources are giving me such different estimates. Some do say the US is lower. Others say it's higher but are less reliable. (Eg worldpopulationreview.com/country-rank...)
