Vivek Ramaswamy is afraid of young voters

[Synthaholic]

The fact that you can actually post that, and believe it is true, demonstrates a level of ignorance that is absolutely astounding.

That's par for the course for these dopes lately. And it's not that they actually believe all the bullshit they spew. They've just all decided to agree to the lies.

See, this, like your OP, is a deceptive headline.

He would need to change many laws, the voting rights act, etc.

He does have a point though.

This is the quote; "he’ll call for increasing the automatic voting age to 25, unless a citizen 18 or older is enrolled in the military, works as a first-responder or passes the same civics test given to immigrants seeking American citizenship."

So? That makes your OP, the title of your thread, your source, and the headline on the Hill articles ALL fake news.

That doesn't make the OP deceptive in any way. A very tiny minority of 18-year-olds are in the military and an even smaller percentage are first responders. And why should 18-year-olds be discriminated against by having to take a test that everyone else is exempt from?

And what the fuck does being a first responder have to do with anything at all?

 

[Synthaholic]

After you gave the details, (with again, the purposely deceptive Hill headlined article,) he gave a substantially logical and nuanced position.

It was not at all unreasonable when it was understood.

It wasn't from The Hill (which is a Right-Wing publication).

How much have you had to drink tonight, anyway?

...as he should be, because they are huge in numbers and they ain't voting for global warming-denying, gun-loving Republicans. Republicans offer nothing to young voters. They won't even eliminate their student debt, while they promote many times that amount in corporate welfare. 2024 is going to be a bloodbath for Republicans.

GOP Contender Vivek Ramaswamy Thinks 18 Is Too Young to Vote

The 37-year-old entrepreneur wants to amend the Constitution to require citizens younger than 25 to pass a civics test in order to vote.

Young voters also don’t want to have anything to do with a GOP that hates gay and transgender Americans, that discriminates against Americans of color, and that wants to force women to give birth against their will, including 13 year old rape victims.

What ever, they are all owned by the same institutional investors.

You really have a problem with only seeing what you want to. Don't you?

I have never really felt, that folks that don't have skin in the game should vote, I'm sort of a radical on that position. If you don't have property, a job, or investments that generate an income, no vote for you.

Voting is based on citizenship, not the fact that you have money to buy property. That's how you get unearned privilege and eventually class warfare.

And as for "investments that generate an income", that's capitalism, which is not in the Constitution and has nothing to do with being an American and should not be used as a yardstick for what makes one an American.

 

[Synthaholic]

Are ten year olds allowed to vote ? no? why not?

Because they are deemed to not have the maturity to make informed decisions. An 18-year-old is, and they are also deemed old enough to die for their country.

Vivek isn't Christian, so he doesn't have a chance of becoming president.

An atheist has a better chance of being POTUS than a practicing Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim. The only other faith that has a shot is Judaism.

Yes, it's all a conspiracy.

Fine, then we need publicly funded elections.

Otherwise, your postings are the disingenuous scribblings of an elitist corporate propagandist, intent on supporting the latest psychopathic shill for office.

The low educated/uneducated propagandized masses, the criminals/young etc., will vote for who the billionaire classes that own the media tell them to vote for.

Your assertions of anything other than that, are lies, and you know it.

I addressed that in the very post that you quoted! So, how much? A fifth? Are you using a mixer? Slow down, Lost Weekend!!!

Gee another brain dead rant from the looney left. LOL

I've been wanting that for decades. Get all money out of politics. Super stringent lobbying laws. But that does not favor a party that caters to corporations and the wealthy.

Which now is the Democrats party of big tech, global finance a chunk of the legal profession, big media etc.

I don't drink, nor do I spend time reading your posts closely.

I have two reading modes. Speed reading. . . where I skim stuff, and close critical reading for important things.

. . . you can probably guess the mode I relegate yours to by now. Corporate propagandists who spread disinfo, and misinformation, don't rank high on my list of cares, TBH.

Now, as I have already proven, both of your sources had dis-info headlines, purposely intending to mislead folks on the nuance of what Vivek was getting at. . . and this whole topic is really starting to bore me.

 

[MisterBeale]

If I remember correctly? Trump was the last POTUS that was elected because of small donations, and Bernie before that benefited from grass roots action.

You are being a disingenuous liar again.

Why should anyone pay their loans? No one should be complaining. They took the loans.

It wasn't the Democrats who passed a $2 trillion tax break for the wealthy, no strings attached. That was Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, and Donald Trump.
