Disenfranchisement – An American tradition

Disenfranchisement is as American as apple pie. People have been disenfranchised for a variety of reasons, from race to religion, from gender to gender expression, from neurodivergence to disability. How can we rid our society of this one tradition that we would rather not pass down to our children?
