My personal opinion is that all citizens be required to pass a citizenship test before they vote. It's been a real education to find out how many people are totally unaware of how the government is structured. I do find that social media has engaged a lot of people, so that's all to the good. But is it possible that civics is no longer required in high school?

Why? Voting doesn't matter. Each party puts up a completely corrupt candidate that works for the party that puts them there. IT DOESN'T MATTER who wins to those who really run the country...they've bought "influence" on both sides. Do you think the REAL wealthy families who control the board of directors of the huge multinationals...risk their fortunes to the whims of peasants?
You mean "officially" or the REAL way government is structured? Our government is nothing more than the liaison between the ultra wealthy and the citizens labor.
We work...they tax us...it goes to the wealthy via the corporations. Government contracts send tax money to corporations. Welfare goes to the corporations as food stamps are used to buy their products.
It's a big cycle...Government taxes and borrows...and either pays corporations directly...or they are paid via a recipient...as a pass through. Poor people don't save ...they spend.
