Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Make it more accessible and provide better candidates.

Accessible things like:

nearly anything other than first past the post
Mandated Paid time off to vote.
Vote by mail(universal absentee ballot).
Strict adherence to vote outcomes (Congress cannot ignore at state nor national level).
full-stop limits on campaign spending
reform campaign donation regulation
limit campaign advertising to small window near election (e.g. 3 months prior)

Better candidates like:

Anyone left of "defacing property is equivalent to or worse than assault on a person"
One that has a platform people are excited to vote for

I promise you there's plenty of highly educated idiots, such a test would only limit the voting base to elite idiots.
