DannyZuco Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Heck, with the laws that Obamacare gave us, maybe we should be raising the legal voting age to 26, since many of these younger folks stay at home until way past that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 26 and gainfully employed .... if you aren't working and are able bodied and on government assistance you shouldn't be able to vote ...

I don't think that you have to be gainfully employed, but if your mommy and daddy can keep you on their insurance, in their home, and write you off their taxes, then I think it would be a good idea to revisit the 26th amendment. And I would go so far as to say that anyone that is in the military from 18-26 would be allowed to vote, as long as they are in serving this country. But I do have a hard time with the thought that some 16-18 year old has the mental capacity to actually read up on candidates, study their positions, and then vote based on their personal beliefs. If the rest of us can't, why would we think that younger kids could. SMH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryLaverty Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Pretty obvious why some would be against those who are young and those who rent voting, and it's not out of benevolence and kindness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild74 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 OPINION: WASHINGTON SECRETS Pew: Fewer than 10% ‘truly independent’ and ‘much less likely’ to even vote by Paul Bedard | March 15, 2019 11:17 AM All the media and political hype over the importance of “independent voters” appears to overshadow the truth about the group — less than 10 percent of Americans are truly independent. And according to a new survey, most of them don’t register to vote and even fewer actually vote. Instead, many of the 38 percent of Americans who describe themselves as “independent” lean toward one party or the other, according to Pew Research Center. “Independents often are portrayed as political free agents with the potential to alleviate the nation’s rigid partisan divisions. Yet the reality is that most independents are not all that 'independent' politically,” said the latest Pew survey. “And the small share of Americans who are truly independent — less than 10 percent of the public has no partisan leaning — stand out for their low level of interest in politics,” said Pew. How low? Here’s what the survey analysis said: “Those who do not lean toward a party — a group that consistently expresses less interest in politics than partisan leaners — were less likely to say they had registered to vote and much less likely to say they voted. In fact, just a third said they voted in the midterms.” Overall, more say they are “independent” than aligned with the parties. Pew said that 38 percent call themselves independent, 31 percent Democrats, and 26 percent Republicans. But most independents lean politically. Here are two key findings pulled from the report: "In their political attitudes and views of most issues, independents who lean toward a party are in general agreement with those who affiliate with the same party. For example, Republican-leaning independents are less supportive of Donald Trump than are Republican identifiers. Still, about 70 percent of GOP leaners approved of his job performance during his first two years in office. Democratic leaners, like Democrats, overwhelmingly disapprove of the president." "Majorities of Republican and Democratic leaners have a favorable opinion of their own party, and they are almost as likely as Republican and Democratic identifiers to have an unfavorable opinion of the opposing party."

I don't believe there's any way they could convince the people of 38 states that's a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the democrats want to end the electoral college. And now they are going to propose an amendment to get rid of it. It won't happen right now, but it is likely to pick up steam when the MSM starts their propaganda against the system. Because the more populated states want to control the nation. Remind me, which of the 2 most populous states runs better and with less taxes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ain't gonna happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
