The people have died is such a bad argument imo. If people died for the freedom to have abortions, that doesn’t mean a pregnant woman has to have an abortion. True freedom means that you can choose whether to vote or not to, and people definitely didn’t die to force everybody to vote, which just results in uninformed and non-caring people to vote for the first candidate that tells easy solutions to everything instead of admitting the complex reality.

Compulsory voting is such an awful idea. In the end, only the populists profit off that, that promise easy solutions to complex problems and sound good for people who aren’t interested in politics and what’s necessary to actually fix stuff. This e.g. largely helped Bolsonaro in Brazil. The reality of people is that some are well-informed and some don’t care about it, and forcing all of them to vote with the same weight is nothing the society benefits from.

Ruffle: You may not know it but most old Flash games (and basically every anmiation) can be played again with this, modern and in a Browser sandbox. Website owners can include it in the backend with a few lines of code and all flash games work again automatically, and it’s also available as desktop app :D
