A few dumbasses voting isn’t worth taking power from the people. As long as dumbasses remain proportionally low, engineering higher participation in democracy cultivates a stronger democracy.
You’re literally arguing that we would have a more efficient, honest and functional government if more uninformed voters voted for our leaders.
I’m arguing the opposite. Informed and intelligent people make better decisions in leadership.
I guess you think the Congressional Black Caucus is the standard we should be striving for. Not me.
"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." This is where we are now, and with your idiotic proposal, it would only escalate it.

Government lists arent for me. I want less federal government, and I want them to know as little about me as possible. Pretty much the standard Conservative take prior to Bush.
Let states handle their stuff and keep the fed out as much as possible. They mess up everything they touch.

Who said anything about uninformed? You think everyone who ever skipped an election was uninformed?

You’re allowed to submit a blank ballot. It just encourages participation. The penalties are mostly fines that would help with federal debt. It works.
Australia has 90% turnout in most elections, and that’s awesome.
Really a weak argument man. It’s like saying no to purging rolls because registration is inconvenient.
but thats still forcing someone to do something, and thus no longer a right. Incredibly unamerican

How is representative democracy supposed to work?
Not, “I voting for him because he’s for more welfare” or “I’m voting for her because she’s a woman” or “I’m voting for him become he seems nice.”
That’s how we get the retards in Congress that we have now.

Another thing that will get struck down by courst...as it should. MAGA will cry and claim lawfare and bash the judges. Those judges will be correct.
The president cannot just decree certain things. He loves to use EO's instead of the co equal branch that was designed to create laws. Sad thing is "conservatives" eat it up, but its not a conservative move at all.

It’s on the election integrity agenda. The order was issued. You might be right, but they’re trying.

Also like Australia where the penalty is just a $20 fine until repeat offenses where it increases. They have 90% turnout.
That's gonna be a no from me baw

Still waiting for you to define eligible with respect to voters.

That’s your opinion & that’s fine. I just wanted some clarity on whether or not MAGA wanted less eligible US citizens to vote, and I got my answer.

He does not support that. He is "cleverly" opposing voter ID by making false requirements of unrelated shite that must go with it.
I am surprised you don't recognize the technique.

I don’t need to define eligible voters for you because it’s not a hypothetical. We have established voter eligibility parameters in the USA, and I’ve made no argument to change them.

I’m not opposing voter ID on its face or on its own. I’m concerned about MAGA’s ideology on voting in general & some of the trending opinions overlapping election integrity.
A govt list of eligible voters is one of the proposals here, and if we have a list then automatic registration is very easily achievable.

Of course you don’t. If you did, it’d blow up your entire canard. Eligibility describes the attributes that allow someone to vote. This entails that we don’t let people vote… already. Go spin your wheels now. Your entire position is a contradiction.

quote:Yes, less uninformed retards voting. Am I supposed to be ashamed of this? Because I’m not. I’m adamant about it.
There it is. Not election integrity. Not illegal immigrants. But less eligible US citizens voting.
Imagine this scenario: You run a business. 100 employees. Half of them are wage employees that only do the bare minimum at work and 30 of them are good employees and do a good job. The other 20 are lower level and upper level supervisors and managers.
You tell them that you are retiring and you’ll allow them to vote for an employee at the company to take your place. Anyone can “run” for the position and all employees will vote.
E’beeteesha, a wage employee decides to run and promises all the wage employees that they will get huge raises if she wins.
Paul, an upper level supervisor also runs and says that he can’t give huge wage increases because the company would end up losing money and go bankrupt.
Who do you think is going to win that “election?” What will eventually happen to the company after E’beeteesha wins?
This is how our country is currently being run.

You have to be of age and a US citizen… those are the requirements.
Is there a problem?
