By AlphaSnacks Go To PostFine, fuck it. If people want to vote, they'll need to do some reading, at the very least, compiled by a non-partisan organization. A quick bullet point of each candidate's talking points.
I just don't want to see blind voting anymore. I really don't.
Now he's against blind people. Hate to see it.
And they won't.
It would be far easier to just test the candidates, but I fear a highly intelligent racist as much as I do a dumb, highly volatile one.
By AlphaSnacks Go To PostLook, if you don't understand what you're voting for or what the platform is, I don't want you voting. If you're voting for the sake of voting because there's a Donkey or Elephant without knowing WHY you're voting…stay your ass home. There are just so many people out there who voted for Trump but had no idea WHY they voted for him.Come on fam, you can't believe this line of thinking is the answer
I'm not talking traditional intelligence test. I'm talking about a basic understanding of the party and what each candidate represents. I know it's fucked up. But the same way I think people above a certain age group need to be tested regularly to drive, I think people need to be tested somehow to vote. Too many blind voters out there.
Perhaps I'm just too damn frustrated these days with US politics.
I actually love the conspiracy theory that
Hillary got Trump the nomination and STILL managed to lose to him
Hillary got Trump the nomination and STILL managed to lose to him
Trump wouldn't have won if there was a man on the democratic ticket ijs. America wasn't ready for a female president.
By Lupercal Go To PostTrump wouldn't have won if there was a man on the democratic ticket ijs. America wasn't ready for a female president.Nah. Hillary fucking sucks lol
Shit, if Hillary were a man it would've been worse
By DY_nasty Go To PostNah. Hillary fucking sucks lolWell yeah, but if it was Hank Clinton, then he would've gotten more votes imo.
By Lupercal Go To PostTrump wouldn't have won if there was a man on the democratic ticket ijs. America wasn't ready for a female president.we really thinking Martin O'Malley was going to beat Trump?
Besides Biden has a chance to lose now
By Lupercal Go To PostWell yeah, but if it was Hank Clinton, then he would've gotten more votes imo.If it was Hank Clinton, they'd never have been able to get anything resembling the illusion of a progressive ticket going. For whatever reason people think of Hillary as pantsuit lady instead of warmonger, practiced racist, convenient feminist, and exploitative of every natural disaster around.
Say any of that in a room and someone called you sexist 😂
Her image wholly conflicted with what she was actually about. She wouldn't get away with it looking like Lindsay Graham, picking Tim Kaine, and still calling herself pro-women.
Yeah true, the program would've been different. But I assume (maybe I'm wrong) but people who are on the fence, especially in the south, they wouldn't be open to a female president yet, or ever.
So the program would've been completely different sure but idunno, I'm spitballing and I just finished my workout so I'm dumb :D

By DY_nasty Go To PostThose same people are begging Michelle Obama to run thoYeah, but she's never going to run, hasn't she said that multiple times?
By Lunatic Go To PostI'm not I'm ready for the level of racism if she runs.They already called her a gorilla and shit
By DY_nasty Go To PostRacism is over now. Things should be fine.Thanks FIFA!
By blackace Go To PostThey already called her a gorilla and shitYea and she was just the wife.
By Lunatic Go To PostYea and she was just the wife.They already called the husband a nigger
By Lunatic Go To PostI mean you could move to Singapore.Working on it
By Perfect Blue Go To PostWorking on itYou really have joined the darkside. Welcome.
By Lunatic Go To PostYou really have joined the darkside. Welcome.Want to go abroad again and SG with our job prospects is a no brainer. Just as good as standard of living as where we are now but safer, cleaner, and amazing weather. Pretty sure I can rake in a salary of at least 30% more than what I make now.
By AlphaSnacks Go To PostFine, fuck it. If people want to vote, they'll need to do some reading, at the very least, compiled by a non-partisan organization. A quick bullet point of each candidate's talking points.Now how do we staff each voting location with enough translators for those who are not able to read and don't understand english? They can still be educated on the parties and candidates but are now unable to take the test.
I just don't want to see blind voting anymore. I really don't.

I just don't want to see blind voting anymore. I really don't.
By NinjaFridge Go To PostHow long before disso gets caned?Like Lunatic said, I am not a man who dares tempt the law.
By Kibner Go To PostNow how do we staff each voting location with enough translators for those who are not able to read and don't understand english? They can still be educated on the parties and candidates but are now unable to take the test.
They're just handing out brochures to people waiting in line. What do they need verbal translators for? Reading materials are almost always written in multiple languages.
By AlphaSnacks Go To PostThey're just handing out brochures to people waiting in line. What do they need verbal translators for? Reading materials are almost always written in multiple languages.Really none of anybody's business why they voting
really the whole thing is an (intentional) gap in education in general that means most people graduate high school with the bare minimum in critical thinking skills, etc etc, not that the candidates should get better
If you feel like your general electorate is uninformed and undereducated, then, well, that's unfortunately one of the potential pitfalls of a representative democracy.
Every time you ask yourself "why would we vote for x", you gotta think deep that it's part of the ethos of a country like this.
Which also means you should look to support candidates that are better on reforming and improving education if this subject is truly important to you.

According to this site, 14% of American adults can't read.

By DY_nasty Go To Postdumb population helps everyone who decides to run for office if you really want to get into it
Every time I think about this I remember when Texas GOP attacked critical thinking being taught in Texas schools because it causes kids to question what their parent and churches are teaching them. It was years ago but I found it to be so egregious and obvious
They had to go and list Gastonia, they couldn't have just done the gentlemanly thing and let that slide.
By Fenderputty Go To PostProfiles in courage:Lmao
Where the fuck were you when Dems asked you to testify during impeachment John. Fucking weasel.
By Laboured Go To PostNot sure there's any money to be made being a witness m8.Shouldn't spoil your own book true.
It's about having principles.
And now he can shit on democrats. It's a win/win.

I contest his book would have sold more had he cooperated with a subpoena. I personally think he wants a shot in another potential GOP admin and knows to tow party line
