Yes. If a marriage fails, the man can no longer vote.
That’s not a bug; it’s a feature.
It’s not “penalizing” him. It’s maintaining the principle that government should be in the hands of people who are successful adults with an investment in the future. I.e., married men living with their children. No shack-ups. No welfare “moms.” No transient men living off women’s welfare checks.
The point of my proposal is that the basic unit of society is the functional family, not the failed family, and not the atomized individual.
You would disenfranchise half the military? I think not!
More than on few young serviceman has lost a marriage— it’s hard being a military wife and damned near impossible when you’re young, stupid and your new spouse (who never left home before)is now 3000 miles from home and you’re deployed again...
I’m not sure how to rationalize the removal of the ability to vote based on what could be *entirely* another person’s decision isn’t a penalty.
Needless to say, we disagree.
Have a great day, FRiend.
