Assuming these people didn’t have any previous issues that rendered them ineligible to vote. I’d argue they aren’t mentally or morally fit to choose the leaders of our nation and states. Should there be an aptitude test to determine who has the right to vote?

Father accused of leaving daughter sleeping outside Target to hold spot for Pokémon cards, police say
quote:

Witnesses told police that sometime after 1 a.m., Dooley gave his daughter a pillow and blanket before leaving her asleep in line. After he had been gone for about an hour, concerned customers called police. When Dooley returned to the store, witnesses identified him, and he was arrested. Dooley allegedly told detectives he had gone home and left his daughter at the store to maintain his place in line.


An 11-month-old girl weighed just 4 pounds when she died. Now, her mom is facing charges

quote:

Nomai was found dead June 17 near the front doorway of her family’s apartment, partially wrapped in a blanket. She was emaciated, weighing only 4 pounds, 13 ounces. The apartment was reportedly in “deplorable” conditions, infested with cockroaches and flies. Officials say no food or child care supplies were found. An autopsy revealed Nomai’s cause of death to be starvation with acute bronchopneumonia due to neglect. The manner of her death was ruled a homicide.


Argument over Wi-Fi leads to murder of mother and son, police say

quote:

Jeremiah McGee was arrested Friday and charged with capital murder in the shooting deaths of Maria Davalos, 62, and her son, Ariel Arellano Jr., in their home.

Investigators noted that multiple people they interviewed, including McGee, told them that there had been disputes over Wi-Fi.

Would like to hear the down voter’s views on why these 3 should be allowed to elect the leaders of our country.

Inmates aren’t allowed to vote.

I’ve long felt that people who don’t contribute shouldn’t get a vote. Why should someone who is a net taker and contributes nothing get the opportunity to vote to take more from the people that do?

Honesty, we need to go back to the original constitution. A person should own land to be able to vote. People need skin in the game.

Transnational Progressives say yes. DEI demands Social Justice. And they will destroy society to get it.

Based on the timing of the articles those 3 weren’t arrested until after the latest election

anyone who has to buy anything has skin in the game. Tarrifs and the war in Iran have made things more expensive for everyone, evenpeople who don’t own property.

Are you Suggesting innocent people who haven’t even been arrested should be barred from voting if you think they might later be accused of misbehavior?

What are you suggesting?

Not if they are felons.

And so what? The POTUS is a convict.

Quite simply, no.

It is a mistake to think that voting is a right. It is not. Thinking that it is a right, produces undesirable outcomes for all.

I’m suggesting that people lacking basic standards might not be best suited to choose the direction of the country. And I recognize that income and the number of degrees someone has doesn’t provide the end all measurement of those people. I don’t believe a white guy who would leave his 6 year old in line at target at 1:00 am for Pokemon cards should have a say, just like I don’t think a black woman who would starve her child to death should either. They are both unfit.

You don't understand what "skin in the game" means.

How many fraud convictions did you overlook your candidate having in 2024? Dude's charity got nuked first term for fraud. Foisting standards onto voters that you wouldn't put on your own candidate is something else.

So a bum in the quarter that solicits money to buy booze has skin in the game? How about the women who have 4 kids by as many men gets free everything from the government that buys stuff, does she have skin in the game ? How about the white or black guy who lives off the system should he have skin in the game or the 50% that pay no taxes at all, should they have skin in the game? Please provide the skin in the game they have

No. In a perfect world the takers wouldn’t be able to vote themselves more to take.
