Allowing women to vote was the great mistake,
Prove me wrong.
Hey! I resemble that remark!
Seriously, as a woman, I can attest to my conservative principles and voting record, having only strayed once in my early 20’s.
Bingo! Ding ding ding. We have a winner!
If Senators are elected, then what the hell is the point of a having a bicameral legislature? It offers emasculated protection from a rogue House. It turns the Senate into a pale shadow of what it is supposed to be: a check on a rogue House. An elected Senate is a profound fail.
Women voting, combined with television broadcasting all those pretty boy faces running for president.
Your muslim brothers support you in this
Isn’t it self-evident?
Man oh man, some of these threads bringing out FReepers whose screen names I’ve not seen in the entire 18 years I’ve been here. Some of them have start dates earlier than mine. Where and why have you been hiding all this time?
Come on, jerk. As I always respond when some clown brings this up: By far blacks vote more to the left than whites. I dare you to make a similar argument there.
Thank you. Fwiw- most elected republicans habe forgotten their conservative principles.
Freeper “Varsity Flight” for president!
Repeal the 19thA.
Yes, you said that.
still worthless, meaningless, doesn’t address the point
Sure.
Why not throw some antisemitism in the thread.
👍
“New Jersey gave women with more than $250. The right to vote in 1776, although they later took it back.”
A lesson for us all.
I don’t disagree but good luck repealing the 19th amendment.
Might as well.
I usually win when I choose the judges.
In the current environment, women can simply self-identify as males on election day and vote anyway. Problem solved.
How about this: sexist a-holes should not be allowed to vote.
The proper way to limit franchise:
No women may vote.
No immigrants or their children may vote, you have to be born in the nation to someone born in the nation in order to qualify.
Nobody who gets any money from government may vote for that level of government, with the exception of the military.
Minimum voting age is 25 or 30.
You may not vote in a state you move to until you have lived there for 10 years.
You must file a hand written (witnessed) copy of the national and state constitutions the first time you register to vote.
Nonsense.
Civilizations have risen and fallen consistently since the dawn of time, even ones where women were treated as chattle.
We have fallen prey to the same destructive forces that have wiped out world super-powers before: greed, corruption, consolidation of government power, largesse on behalf of the people, and comfortable weakness.
Check out Niall Ferguson’s “The West and the Rest” on youtube.com. Ferguson is a world renowned historian who specifically studies what causes civilizations to rise and fall.
Need to include non property owners in that group that shouldn’t be able to vote.
