I disagree....U. S. citizens have a RIGHT to vote after age 18. I see it as increasing the voting pool and educating graduates on how to choose candidates who's ideals/positions that are good for their area and US country as a whole. We should be encouraging that right AND responsibility to elect best qualified candidate.

I also have mixed feelings about this. You never know who these people are going to vote FOR:) I do not participate in rounding up people to vote. If they don't care enough to show up and register, let them go. It would also create a lot of exta work to keep those names on the list who will never show up to vote.

Yep. Every 4 years we how the young vote is going to make the difference and it never materializes. Perhaps if you could vote with the TikTok app it might make a difference.

Do you think we should go back the founders' preference that only male landowners should have the vote?

But calling people right wing nuts is acceptable?

Never called anyone nuts. I said his statements implied a right wing bias.

At tu vicissim.

Absolutely not. Land ownership should not be in the equation.

I didn’t say you said it. I’m saying the phrase.

I look for overall substance and "greater good" in Presidents, rather than minor flub.

Not recognizing the words coming out of his mouth while he read aloud is different than the usual flubs he's had over the years.

I would disagree that my tax money being used to appease the unions by funding their pensions is for the "greater good".

Union workers guaranteed a pension. Many have worked in conditions others wouldn't tolerate..... like my husband, a millright in a steel plant toiled 25+yrs, with 150+ degree temps at top of mill @ height of Summer .

President Joe Biden highlights rescue plan for union pensions in Cleveland speech

Quote

There, the president touted a fund created by the American Rescue Plan Act that will offer as much as $90 billion in grants to multi-employer retirement plans.

A federal agency that insures those plans, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, was projected to go insolvent in 2026. The ARPA funding will keep the pension insurance agency solvent until 2051, according to a government summary....

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation covers non-union members too.

All public speakers experience "flubs". Only the last president was an incompetent and unqualified corrupt liar who frequently ranted in childish word salad.

Yeah, lots of modern Republicans have been convinced by their media and the "conservative" messaging that unions are problematic. Maybe we can insure that your tax dollars are only used for funding other federal concerns or obligations that you personally agree with.

I am naive. I didn't know that America. citizens were working under super dangerous conditions like your husband. They ruin an employee's health and then weasel out of pension payments. This sounds like conditions in . Bangladesh.
