SURPRISE! Totalitarian Liberals Want to Make it MANDATORY TO VOTE

[Freewill]

Not voting is voting. It is a vote to say you just don't give a damn.

What this initiative really means is another slap in the face to the poor, especially blacks, by the left wing.

What else can it mean? They see that blacks turned out to vote for Obama but they didn't turn out to keep their corrupt members in office. So the cure is to force those they know will vote only one way to vote.

It is pathetic how the democrat party and the left wing treats the poor in this country, especially the black poor. What is wrong with these people?

SURPRISE! Totalitarian Liberals Want to Make it MANDATORY TO VOTE

This really shows how skeerd the cons are of the poor. They know that if the poor get to vote, they lose every time. That's why they try so hard to keep them from being able to vote.

Compulsory voting is SUCH a ridiculous notion -- especially in a Republic, such as ours, which was founded on the basic precepts of freedom and liberty.

When you convert a right into an obligation, it ceases to be a "right."

I have heard quite a few right wingers on this forum argue that voting is not a right during debates about forcing you to carry national identity papers.

It's amazing their heads don't explode from getting their own totalitarian streaks more twisted than a pretzel.

This should be easy for you to do. Point to the wording in the US Constitution that states the explicit right to vote. You know, like free speech, bearing arms, etc. You're not going to find it because it doesn't exist. The only thing you're going to find are amendments that say what you can NOT use as an exclusion to voting such as color, gender, etc. The decision about who can vote is left to the states, not the federal government. There is only ONE national election, all the rest are local to the states. The state decides who can and cannot vote as long as it doesn't violate amendments that say what items states can't use as an exclusion. Some state don't let convicted felons vote....even if they are a 35 year old black female. So, show us where the "right" to vote is in the Constitution.

OR, maybe it shows that Conservatives want people to be free to choose to vote or not vote without consequences.

Only socialists/fascists in a banana republic would think mandatory voting would be a good thing...
Silly progressives

 

[Seawytch]

Want to commit voter fraud in a state where they don't check IDs? Check the obituaries a few days before the election. Call in to verify a dead person's polling location. Show up and vote as the deceased. Hopefully, no one will show up claiming to be the dead person unless they are another fraudulent voter too!

This post right here is how we know Voter ID proponents are retards.

They think voting as a dead person is going to swing an election and therefore is worth risking jail time.

Meanwhile, everyone else has figured out it isn't going to swing an election, which is why in-person voter fraud is extremely rare.

So you go right ahead, hot shot.

Exactly! There simply IS NO PAYOFF. If you rob a bank, you're risking jail time for SOMETHING. A single in person voter is risking everything for ZERO payoff. (Which is why in person voter fraud is more rare than painite)

One person? How do you know it is just one person? They also do not have any chance of getting caught, so what is the penalty?

Of course they have a chance of getting caught, a good one. They are walking into a local polling place where someone is likely to know the deceased individual.

The penalty for perjury is steep and THERE IS NO PAYOFF.

You do realize you just helped to make my point, right?

If that were the case, cons wouldn't be trying so hard to keep the poor from voting.

Are you trying to help me? That's new. You posted exactly what I said. The amendments say you can't deny the right to vote based on age, sex or race. It didn't say you had the right to vote. You see, if the constitution said you had the right, the amendments saying what could not be used to exclude you from voting wouldn't be needed at all. Your state can refuse you the right to vote based on anything they want except for what those amendments spell out. You might want to think this over. You're welcome.

Of course the Nazi's were left wing.

After all they named themselves the National Socialist Party. .......

Oh, look. Someone found the word socialist in the Nazi name. How clever.

As if that proves they are left wing. BWA-HA-HA-HA!

Honk if you love multiculturalism!

Russian communism and Nazi socialism were just two sides of the same leftist coin. ........

"SURPRISE! Totalitarian Liberals Want to Make it MANDATORY TO VOTE"

This fails as both a composition and straw man fallacy.

The president is not 'representative' of all 'liberals,' nor is the author of the linked Atlantic article.

The author of the OP article then contrives the lie that 'liberals' are 'totalitarian,' as is mandatory voting, when in fact nothing could be further from the truth, and proceeds to attack the lie he contrived.

Only an idiot would believe such nonsense, and this is yet another example of the ridiculous right attempting to contrive a 'controversy' where none exists.

The always stupid and unpersuasive g.5 imagines that if you MOCK the fact that Nazi includes the word "socialism" then nobody will EVER be able to show the liberal Statist type underpinnings of that fascist entity (because Ohh Noooozies, some liberal twerp might make fun!) and this ought to silence the opposition.

Fact is, however, none of g.5's bleating actually change anything. The underpinnings of the fascist Nazi ideology did include socialism.

Much of modern day so-called "liberalism" demands resort to fascist behavior.

 

[HenryBHough]

Idea:

Let's have mandatory voting.

And mandatory drug testing right inside the door of each polling place so the stoned get frog-marched off thepokey instead of voting Democrat.
