Nope. I am serious. We have to literally do one thing as citizens and that is vote. If one isn’t willing to do that one doesn’t get the benefits of a democracy.
You act like I have the power to do anything at all. Chill out. I don’t care how it would be done I think that’s how it should be because it is that easy and important to vote.
It’s full implementation is unacceptable as a hard rule. I agree with doing a lot to ensure everyone votes, but removing rights for reasons beyond one’s control is the opposite of helpful.
Expatriation means losing basically every right in the charter, and is politically equivalent to execution. This reason (failing to vote) is also heavily biased towards people with less control over their lives, and disrupting someone from voting could be used as a weapon.
I can see punishments for failing to vote, but such an extreme response should be reserved for those who explicitly choose not to vote, and such a system would need a rigorous judgment to act on.
Having such a thin line between citizenship and expatriation is too dangerous. On one hand, choosing not to vote may be considered a serious enough act, but on the other hand there are dozens of reasons a vote can fail to be cast, and they would all need to be addressed before something as serious as expatriation is considered as a punishment.

You aren’t serious. How tf are you going to “expatriate” someone? Put them in a rowboat and tow them into international waters?

Maybe you can send them to El Salvador.
I could see this if every opportunity was made to allow it.
Loosing citizenship due to a debilitating illness is completely unacceptable for example.
It is weird how humans immediately try to find exceptions to a rule without ever discussing its full implementation in the first place.

No one said rights would be removed for reasons beyond control. Quit being ridiculous, shit isn’t real.
