Yeah, because giving the franchise to any moron that turns 18 and has a pulse has sure worked well everywhere its been implemented, right?

Frankly, I no longer want to be ruled over by people too dammed selfish to take some time out of their snowflake lives to serve others or have people that are so f-—ed up they can’t mesh with a team, voting in the next group of our betters to run our lives.

Thank you for burning a strawman. You know that you did that, right? You know that your comment is stupid and reflects poorly on you, right? I hope you're smart enough to know that, but it's far from certain.

Frankly, I no longer want to be ruled over by obsessive busybodies who want to tell how to live my life and whether or not I'm "giving back" enough to the "community". To Hell with them, and to Hell with their mandatory "service" requirements.

Now, do you care to address the simple facts: We simply have no legitimate need for the vast horde of make-work “government servants” that you and Robert want to create. Your proposal also inverts the relationship between We the People and our government. It serves us. We do not serve it.

This isn’t a federal matter, if it were you’d have to register to vote federally.

You don’t, because voting is a state and local matter, according to districts. The president is elected by the electoral college... electors are chosen at the state level.

If there were any kind of mandatory service it should have to be limited to fall under state, not federal authority.

When we let the federal government have this much power it is at the expense of rather than in defense of our liberty and the powers of our state and local government and is a net loss for everyone.
