      But you would remove people who would prefer burger to participating in democracy from the equation.

          because people who prefer short term profit don’t make smart long term decisions and elections are all about long term decisions.

            I think any American of the age of majority should be able to vote easily and I don’t think there should be a burger purity test to be able to do so.

            But if they want a free mediocre burger after it should be their reward to contributing to the democratic process.

              Right, all those poor hungry people who are one imaginary burger away from dying to malnutrition. Good thing they have you on their side!

              A straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be “attacking a straw man”.
