Let's be clear: I am not the person promoting a high school diploma requirement.

Stagnant_Pig proposed the question, and did not even assert agreement with it. I am opposed to the high school requirement. Please check which chain you are following when you reply.

Second of all, why do you need there to be a party for you to vote for someone? We vote for individuals. Sure, we get some weird examples such as H. Ross Perot, who ran with only the vaguest of party affiliations. I suppose Bored Billionaire Party wasn't all that catchy, but it wasn't Democrat or Republican.

I spoke against fascism and you accuse me of it. You accuse me of my opponent's stance and built a straw man smorgasbord. Please review. Please check to whom you reply.

Hey Saldejums, If you are indeed from Belarus, I heard that it is terrible there from a recent migrant to Canada. I asked her why she wanted to leave Belarus and she had a long list of awfulness. She and her husband were both doctors in Belarus and she said they were paid very little and treated badly, she said that you have elections but IT IS NOT DEMOCRACY. She waited 8 years to immigrate and then had great difficulty becoming a doctor in Canada. It's very hard for her here, but she feels more free.

I understand very little about Belarus, but I have no doubt that it is as you say:

    I do not vote since there is nobody who represents my values and there will never be anybody who represents all my values, who listens my problems and who cares enough
