America should allow other countries to vote in the 2020 election

Now that Trump won't acknowledge basic things like climate change, it's time other countries had a say

last week, a terrorist killed 50 people in two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. The alleged gunman, who had referred to himself as a white nationalist, viewed Donald Trump as “a symbol of renewed white identity”. So, yes, I think it’s high time to acknowledge the fact that what happens in the US has immense, tangible consequences on the rest of the world, and I am tired of crossing my fingers hoping that American voters will do the right thing.

how would we make it happen? Does each foreign country get the same weight as each of the 50 states? Surely, that would be giving too much weight to the outside world. Do we restrict the vote to member states of NATO and/or historical allies? This seems slightly more realistic – as realistic as it gets in this purely hypothetical scenario – but also somewhat unfair to those whose voices would be left out.

Trollbait. He can’t be serious.

Isn’t April Fools Day next week?

Other countries have NO SAY in what we do in America. Anyone saying this is a treasonous bastard.

Get the hell away from our country.

In the immortal words of Judge Smails, YOU’LL GET NOTHING AND LIKE IT!!!!

Seriously, just how arrogant of a jackass do you have to be to think you should get a vote in another country’s elections?

I think this is a good idea. Because I assume there would be reciprocity, and I’ve always wanted a say on who will be the next British king.

[MNDude]

Yes, but only to those who are fortunate enough to be here. Very unfair for those who can’t cross the border or win the lottery.

This has to be a joke ... right?

My Tagline explains the reason why he would want the world to vote in the ‘20 U.S. election.

I still remember reading a story during the Reagan administration about a poll that said a majority of foreigners believed that the election of the American President was too important to be left to Americans alone.

Sure thing, dipwad. You hosers get to vote in our elections and our Bill of Rights gets applied to your countries especially that 2nd Amendment. Deal?

Of course, because sometimes we get it wrong, like with Presidents Reagan and Trump. These things are just too important to leave to voters in flyover states. What makes it even worse is President Trump seems to be getting things so right when the “god of all things” and the “lightworker” and Nobel Prize winner got so many things so wrong. I tell you, it just doesn’t make sense.

Maybe we should have let Germany and Japan decide if we went to war against them......../s

[Retvet]

Because leftist agenda propaganda isn’t working they want to null and void the citizenry. Their arguments are weak so lets import votes we can buy they think. Liberal fascists hate aAmerica so flood it with foreign bought voters. Normally they would resort to violence but Americans are to well armed.

[fuzzylogic]

I have no problem with countries that want to become a State of the USA and abide by our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

...many could use it - starting with the UK.
