Daily mantra on CNN is that your life will be better exponentially as your hatred toward the Orangeman increases.
Lmao, I thought you were a history buff. Didn't you know that only White landowners could vote when the country was founded?
I plan on barring stupid people from voting. If you can't even do something as simple as read, why should you impact highly complex issues by voting?
I am not against the government funding education. In fact, I support school choice, so my policies would result in better literacy than whatever you would propose.
Admittedly, Fox News employing Chris Wallace (third hobo in that dumpster fire of a presidential debate last week) has made me dislike them even more.ironically, Chris Wallace is one of the Fox employees I despise the least. He is one of the very few people working for fox who will ever, under any circumstances, even lightly criticize trump or the republicans. Virtually everyone else employed there are non-stop republican sycophants who do nothing but ass kiss. Wallace isn't alot better, he ass kisses about 95% of the time. But that's better than almost everyone else on fox.
I dislike such obvious fake news as Fox.
yes, because they were the only one's they considered to be people. So unless you are considering illiterate people to be non-persons, your point doesn't have much merit.
because the power of the vote is the primary thing that gives people a voice in a democracy. Politicians have to at least pretend they are listening to you because your have power over them. As soon as a group is removed from the voter pool, they lose all importance. No politician is going to lift a finger to help someone who has neither the money to help them or a vote they can cast for them. It guarantees they have no voice and no power. It ensures that they are forced into an underclass that no one will help and no one will listen to. A free society should not allow that to ever happen.
that makes no sense. People who are forced to or choose to drop out of school are not going to be in a position where whether or not they will be able to vote will be a critical factor. If you have to drop out of school to get a job to feed your family, then losing your right to vote in the future is a small price to pay to protect those you love. You aren't going improve literacy by punishing those who fall through the cracks.
Well damn, guess you consider 5 year-old to not be people because you don't think they should be allowed to vote. I guess voting is validation of your humanity.
Well, we were never meant to be a democracy because that amounts to "mob rule". You learn to read in like first grade. If you are an adult and cannot read at a fifth grade reading level for some literacy test, then I'm sorry but you have shown such little care for yourself and have neglected your civic duty to not be an imbecile.
I don't think anyone is expecting you to read Shakespeare to be allowed to vote. If you are at the age at which you can work, and you cannot trudge through a few sentences (I don't know how you are getting jobs to feed your family if you are illiterate), then who is to even say that you will be voting correctly?
They can fill out ballots completely wrong by not understanding directions. Seems quite hazardous to me.
You are advocating for taking the vote away from adults of sound mind who should have every right to a voice in decisions that will very much affect them.
Bullshit. There are millions of non-taxpayers voting on how to spend taxes. That's a large reason why pandering is a contact sport in DC.
Everyone now has private property. Not everyone pays taxes on it though.
Actually, I just want the poor to be taxed like they do in Nordic countries, It's harder to pander when it's your own money purchasing your own vote.
My personal test is simple.If the individual person accusing someone of being a racist would not hate him even a tiny bit less were he to actually be non-racist, then the charge is absolute bullshit and a cover for the other reasons why that individual hates a person.At that point, it just descends into the realm of "yo-momma" slurs and taunts.Particularly look at the 1:35 mark of the video.There are people out there that would stand to lose a lot, both financially and with the status of their peers were they to even question if Trump were a racist.Do these opinions even matter?
Trump: “I’ve rejected the KKK from the time I was 5 years old"CNN headline: "Trump shockingly admits he was a white supremacist at age 4 in a rare moment of honesty."
ya boy Tucker Carlson whose commentary is flat out garbage.
To me that really sounds a lot like further rejection of tribal ethics. Which yes, leads to arbitrary assignment of otherness with tangible harmful consequences.Thought crimes.

I'm a speciesist. This is evident by my consumption of cows, but not of dogs.
