Being a two party system, and the question being should everyone vote, you can't have a theoretical debate without bringing up specifics. Its not childish to point out how the two are related unless we are talking about Candy Land. Now please enough with name calling

I recommend you read Heinlein's SciFi novel (often overlooked as a political satire) "Starship Troopers". In that, only soldiers were permitted to vote, as they were the only ones who were willing to put their lives on the line.

I recommend you reread it, you had to give service but it did not have to be combat related, it just had to be hard and in the states benefit. Heinlein is one of my favorite authors, 3/4ths libertarian and 1/4 republican, about the perfect mix.
