letās also take away the voting age from people with depression, anxiety, ADHD, internet moderators or any other sort of mental illness while were at it
The left seems to be so afraid of these limits but I'm pretty sure if they applied them they would win a lot more, more educated people are voting left. And I'm not left wing myself
Why would you want poor people who donāt own land to vote šššš. How dumb can you be. Poor people are only going to vote to give themselves more free shit.
In some places, plenty of poor people own land. In some places, plenty of rich people do not own land. Rich people vote/lobby to give themselves āfree shitā all the time, in the form of bailouts and subsidies.
I am not calling for the disenfranchising of huge blocks of the country, a plan which, if put in place, would inspire secessionism and violence across the country, exactly what a āRussian agent trying to sow hate and discontentā would want.
You just said yourself many poors own land. Probably in rural areas so they arenāt gonna be upset. They can still vote! The poor blacks down vote anyhow so they arenāt gonna give a shit.
Many land-owning rural poor people would sympathize with other poor people being stripped of the right to vote, especially when they almost all have relatives who live in cities, and some rural poor people do not own land. Even excluding (for whatever reason) the urban poor, there would still be a large amount of people against the disenfranchisement.
I'm sure glad that Redditors debating complex topics like voting, political economy and ethics. Considering they have exceptional knowledge in pol. sci., econ, philosophy, cognitive science and all related topics they surely will arrive at correct conclusions with sound reasoning.

"14 year olds should vote because they technically sort of pay taxes and like 1% of them have jobs"

Redditors are subhuman

To vote you should have to be at least 25 and a net taxpayer. Then you have to pass a 50 question civics test at the polls on election day.

Only landowning men with children should be able to vote.
1 Kaiser-romulus 2020-02-02
Landowners only.
1 MoistLanguage 2020-02-02
The only sensible choice
1 Kaiser-romulus 2020-02-02
Itās what the founders of this country intended. Cause they were smart and knew poorcels should never vote.

Poor cel cope. You must be a Russian agent trying to sow hate and discontent in this country.

I can't believe how quickly I stopped reading this comment. You have a real talent for writing in a way that makes people stop giving a shit
5 PplOfColoredMeShockd 2020-02-02
Heās an actual autist. You canāt expect him to sense the sarcasm from a simple āLandowners only.ā, because heās mentally unable too lmao

Yeah I just skip the comment and assume it's boring when I see bagofhammers. I'm more likely to read a watermark longpost

1 Kaiser-romulus 2020-02-02
Nah. Russians want power to the poors. Something that should never happen.
1 ImJustaBagofHammers 2020-02-02
In the sense of poor people making militias and going to war with the U.S. government after being disenfranchised?

For someone who just accused me of being a Russian agent trying to sow division, you seem to really like the idea that everyone hates everyone else.
2 Kaiser-romulus 2020-02-02
I do lmao thatās cause I am a real American. Russian trolls arenāt allowed to do this.
1 ImJustaBagofHammers 2020-02-02
In other words, itās okay to work for the Russian agenda, as long as you are an American and not a Russian? Why is that?
2 PsychologicalYam5 2020-02-02
you should only be able to vote if you are above a certain tax threshold. this would weed out all the stupid people
3 Kaiser-romulus 2020-02-02
Thatās fair also. If you donāt pay property tax or income tax above a certain amount no vote for you.
1 ashleychudd 2020-02-02
That is better than turning over the treasury to the masses.
1 SmurfPolitics 2020-02-02
Fine, for an extra tax, urbanfags with money can vote to, r u happy libral?
1 heeehaaw 2020-02-02
Male land owners only.
8 15nelsoc 2020-02-02
The male restriction is implied by the landowner restriction
1 Kaiser-romulus 2020-02-02
Yes of course.
1 MetaReplyGirl 2020-02-02
What if you own shares in a corporation that owns land, like a co-op?

1 FUCKYOURITALIN 2020-02-02
idk what a movie about a town being taken over by aliens and some alcoholics going on a beer run has anything to do with the voting age
just cus it stars br*ts doesnāt make it relevant
1 brinkworthspoon 2020-02-02
The radical centrist option is obviously to give everyone 1/2 a vote.
