No thread on the rights push to give Parents more votes over single people

[John8204]

Strange how the party that strips citizens of their voting rights for criminal convictions is now running a VP that thinks single people don't deserve the same rights as parents.

For a party that doesn't win the popular vote, refuses to allow disent in the party, and manipulates voting rolls opening and often...well actually I forgot where I was going with that.

Trump : what about those black jobs:yaohappy:

And childless Chewing is gonna have his taxes raised to pay for other people's kids.

[j3lademaster]

Would be no different than the electoral college. Popular vote should be all that matters.

And childless Chewing is gonna have his taxes raised to pay for other people's kids.What do you think a child tax credit is? Childless people already pay higher taxes.

They're on the right track. There should be some type of weighted average. People with more stake in the system (parents, homeowners, business owners, those who pay the most taxes) should have their vote count for more than some unemployed anarchist living in his parent's basement and contributing zero. Of course, such a system would kill the Democrat Party, so it will never happen.

In theory? Sure.

In practice? All that would do would further consolidate power amongst the nation's elite. If that's the route you want to go based on your personal circumstances then that's good for you. But it will not be beneficial to the country as a whole. Stripping voting power away from less powerful and already underrepresented people is not the answer.

The more taxes you pay the more your vote would count?

Dems would have it locked up until the end of eternity you idiot :oldlol:

The blue states/cities make infinitely more money than the red states who are the ones that actually use up all the welfare and government assistance.

The entire US would be California

It's true that democracy has its flaws, one being the village idiot's vote has the same weight as Einstein's. I'd be fine with giving different weight to votes but not sure how anyone would ever decide what it's based on or if it will matter at all.

We've had this discussion a million times and the answer is still the same. Not everyone in blue states votes blue. I know; I live in one. What makes blue states blue is the amount "disenfranchised" (low income, welfare recipients, illegals, etc) not the high earners, who are more like 50/50 and in many areas lean right.

JohnnySic, you do realize lowIQofftheCourt has low IQ so don't take him seriously. I live in Orange County California, which is a very red part of Commiefornia; I vote red, and almost everyone I know votes red. But OC is just a very small part of California. LowIQofftheCourt has low income too, if he can ever live in this state, he would live in the low income section or with his parents just like CopyPasteLegend32.

All those tech billionaires are woke, with the exception of Elon Musk. Even Musks CEO is woke though. Corporations
in general are woke. You should know you talk about it all the time. Or posts memes about it.

College grads are woke, and that's who is running the show. Meanwhile in the deep south the GDP is abysmal. Red states are poor.

If the only vote that matters is the wealth vote? We'd have woke laws.
