All voting should be done in ONE day. It should be a federal holiday, and there should be no machines counting votes. All paper ballots. Mail-in ballots should be reserved only for the military, the infirm, or Americans living or working abroad. Election results should be announced shortly after the polls close exactly as done in France.
Harry Stein works for the City Journal and lives in New York. Once a Democrat liberal, he suddenly realized that liberalism today is far cry from what it was decades ago. His books are a delight to read, hilarious, and his understanding of political issues is truly scholarly.
Here Stein discusses idiot voters:
Blockquote > “[T]he depressing but undeniable fact [is] that the gravest danger to our republican government is that too many idiots vote. . .
“Such idiots, to be sure, range across the political spectrum, and are of all colors, creeds, nations of origin and, yes, political orientations. Yet in America today, only one of the dominant parties—guess which one—is actually dependent on the idiot vote for its very survival. Ignoramuses are the Democrats’ core constituency. Can’t name your congressman or a single Supreme Court justice? Have vaguely heard of Gettysburg, but can’t quite place the war? Get your idea of news from People and Us or Comedy Central? You’re a single-issue voter and the single issue is more-more-more and who-cares-how-it -gets-paid-for? The Dems not only want you to vote, they will hunt you down, fill out the registration form for you and show up on election day and drag you to the polls. And if you can’t make it, they’ll send someone else and say you did. And all the while, proudly cast themselves as defenders of democracy, because the right to vote is, you know, like sacrosanct.”
—Harry Stein, The Idiot Vote: The Democrats’ Core Constituency
All idiots should be sent to Russia to enjoy the life they seek
In 17th-century Massachusetts, men could vote from home if their homes were “vulnerable to Indian attack,” according to historian Alex Keyssar’s book The Right to Vote: The Contested History of Democracy in the United States, and the votes of some Continental Army soldiers were presented in writing “as if the men were present themselves” in Hollis, N.H., in 1775 during the American Revolution.
Now, you’re writing this in the time of YOUR PARTY believing JFK wasn’t assassinated, is somehow on your team and alive, his son wasn’t killed and despite being a left wing magazine magnet…was secretly working to bring down a cabal of adrenochrome satanists who are kidnapping over a million babies a year in the US alone, to dismember and drink their blood and ingest their “adrenochrome.” Of course, adrenochrome in that context was solely the creation of a Hunter S Thompson book, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. You, being Jewish, should be familiar with the trope above…as it’s been a relatively consistent trope throughout Europe and the Middle East over your people for literally thousands of years.
This time, however, you’re willing to lift up and support the trope that has lead to, again…literally thousands of years of persecution, in order to support your political ideology and desire to troll the libs in your later years in life.
It really does take quite a dishonorable person to take this stance. However, I’d expect nothing less from you.
If France can vote in one day, so can the USA. The number of people voting is less important than the quality, intelligence, and patriotic commitment of those who do vote. This would also reduce the numbers of idiot voters. If it is too inconvenient for someone to vote, he/she should stay the hell home.
Clearly mail-in ballots are a chief vehicle for cheating. No need whatsoever for voting machines that can be rigged.
Well, that’s a perspective. France has 67 million people and we have 341 million people. France is roughly the same size as Texas.
Another perspective, from a person who has spent his life looking down on most around him, and considers himself a patriot despite rooting for our enemies and against our allies. Oligarch types, like you, have always had a problem with being subject to the voting block you consider is less than you.
Banning Florida from voting would accomplish that task far quicker.
Another example of how privileged people like BIKKKI haven’t ever had to struggle, work several jobs, have kids a a single parent, not get let off for work to vote, etc., look down on people who do the real work in this world. BiKKKi longs for the days he could wear a white powdered whig and look down at the peasants while he sips his tea. It’s not that he doesn’t know about people’s struggles, he revels in them.
Zero evidence voting machines can be rigged. Mail-In ballots are the preferred method for older white voters, categorically. In 2016, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, MN, NC, OH and WI all had no-excuse absentee voting. The research showed older, white, Republican voters had the highest rates of voting my mail. Trump voted by mail. Hell, March Finchem…voted by mail in every election except 1 over the course of 20 years. Only Ohio was the outlier. They voted 2 points less than black voters in Ohio.
So, I don’t give a shit about mail in voting. No person I know votes by mail. People who look like, act like, and think like you vote by mail.
It’s so hilarious to me that mail-in voting used to be so favored by Republicans, then Trump suddenly demonized it, and now Pubs pretend it was always an abomination.
Hell, I would put good money down that bikki has voted by mail in the past. Good money.
And, like zombies, they now need to follow the same talking points.
Kind of like free trade, Russia is the enemy, support law enforcement, and the myriad of other topics that the entire GOP abandoned once the con-man told them to?
Bikki, honest question. Why is mail in balloting an issue now when it used to be a huge advantage for Republicans. I remember for years that you would always here about mail in balloting and that those votes were always heavily in favor or Republicans.
So, mail in ballots are for all-mail voting states and absentee ballots are not. So, every single time you’re talking about mail-in ballots, you’re using the term incorrectly and you’re talking about absentee ballots? Not once have you talked about states like Utah being a sham in voting considering they use all-mail in ballots, right? Florida has mail-in ballot requests…seems like anyone can vote by mail. Yet, it is referred to on their website as absentee ballots.
