When I say things that sound insane, like only the smartest million people should have the right to vote, well, I mean that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The right to vote should be considered sacred in our democracy.
I know enough about European politics to know you've got a lot of crazy people who make their way onto the ballot.
The right to vote gives every eligible American a voice in our electoral politics. There's too much at stake to stay silent as this right is eroded.
If people want to take the time to vote, they should be able to, and their vote should be counted.
Voting is as much an emotional act as it is an intellectual one.
Many now born, by the time they are voters will compose part of a nation with a genius nowhere equaled, and with a vast territory upon which those energies and that genius can operate.
People say, 'If you don't vote, then you don't have a right to say anything. But nine times outta 10, I pay more taxes than they do - so even if I don't vote, I still have the right to speak out.
The right to vote is the right upon which all of our rights are leveraged - and without which none can be protected.
I feel that everyone has a right to be insane.
I would never say somebody had to vote for anybody. That would be terrible. I haven't said that.
