If only people with college degrees who actually made a minimal effort to follow non Facebook meme politics could vote, both the democrats and republicans would be different parties. The parties and their message to voters are influenced by who is voting in the first place.
Additionally, which party do you associate with calls to lower the voting age? I do not associate Republicans with this. How does this fit with your belief that allowing "only people with college degrees" would overwhelmingly vote for Democrats. Why isn't the Republican party demanding we lower the voting age to 16? Granted, neither party directly asks for this, but you can find little organizations here[1] and there[2] asking for it, and maybe the occasional individual House member[3].

If in a century people are living in the carcass of civilization will we celebrate that we achieved our ruin progressively or inclusively?
Let's be real though people aren't worried about being progressive they are more apt to worried because they support a political party that could never survive without the ignorant and the stupid.
If only people with college degrees who actually made a minimal effort to follow non Facebook meme politics could vote the republicans would only be competitive vs the green party.
