We’re talking about laws so ‘true freedom’ is irrelevant in this context.
But mostly, compulsory voting doesn’t eliminate the freedom to not vote. Just go in and write bart simpson like a certain percent always do.
As someone who moved from Australia to the US, I can tell you you’re wrong.
Compulsory voting means you can’t win by riling up your base with extremist nonsense to drive up turnout. Everyone is voting anyway, so you have to appeal more widely.
You can’t drive down turnout to get a party with minority support to win, like russia did in the US.
Voter suppression by fascist politicians is much harder when people legally have to vote.

The idea that the masses are too stupid to be trusted with voting is an elitist lie.

His wealth needs to be taken from him, for the good of the world.
