Allowing women to vote was the great mistake,
Prove me wrong.
Years ago in the colonies that was the case. There was a reason for that.
If you owned land you had food to feed your family and trees to chop down to keep you in firewood. If you had no land to farm and no skills you probably couldn't support yourself.
Anybody who couldn't support himself and family would be auctioned off to the community. People would bid on the non-productive ones to provide them with food and shelter and in return they would have to work for that person in return. Yes it was like slavery and it was for white people.
Well THAT didn't work.
“The only conservative senators ever elected were elected by voters.”
1. Do you have a source for that or is it only opinion?
2. How many current senators would you consider to be conservative?
“If they were picked by state legislatures, we never get more than a moderate.”
I agree that the senators would reflect the state legislature. There are states with conservative legislatures. Alabama comes to mind. There are others.
The current composition of the U.S. senate is:
49 Republicans
48 Democrats
3 Independents (who caucus with the Democrats).
So Democrats control the senate 51/49.
Full party control of U.S. state legislatures:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_state_legislatures
Republican: 28
Democrat: 20
Split: 3
That means that Republicans would control the U.S. senate with 59 senators.
There’s a proposal!
However you arrived at thinking for yourself, our founders bless you.

Allowing women to hold public office was an even bigger mistake.
“So in the world of Free Republic , we are supposed to take the position that women should not be allowed to vote?”

The problem is single women voters.
—
So many single and bitter. They thought they wanted feminism. As they grow older alone, many tend to rethink it.
Or perhaps only those who pay net federal taxes get to vote? That’s skin in the game.
Promoting singledom is what has destroyed the nation. The nature of woman is dependency. In marriage, she is dependent on her husband. As a single person, she puts her dependency on the government. The more single women there are, the more women will be voting for the government.

Yep. Destroying the family has destroyed America.
Actually, I agree. And I’m a woman. Although I appreciate having the opportunity to vote, the privilege to vote. But I agree that women, who by and large vote based on emotions, have been the cause, the downfall of a lot of the crap going on in this country.
Oh yes, the great expert Niall Ferguson. He’s the same guy who supported all of us wearing masks and isolating while he was sneaking out and screwing his lover and getting covid and maybe something else.
Trump couldn’t vote.
Melania couldn’t vote.
Donald Jr, Eric, Inanka and Barron, all can’t vote.
I couldn’t vote.
My daughters, sorry, no vote.
Let’s make it very simple so all can get it.
Tell us who you want to vote for, and we can determine whether or not you’re allowed to vote.
Much easier than earning the vote and we win! Like every time.
Nothing is more valuable to me than my vote. I’ve always said that I would give it up in a heartbeat if I could stop women from voting. And men? I’ve seen spineless men clam up like they had no opinion to impress some lefty hag.
Their husbands already would then.
Yes!
I couldn’t agree more ‘cause I are one and I’ve seen how wimmins vote........stupid
