Indeed it's a trap!
I mean yeah, that's in the top 5. But don't spoil the rest for them just yet. I want to see how deep this rabbit hole goes.For Jason........

Compared to what the Democrats are offering? I'll take it.Anyone here want to square up and acknowledge ownership of literally any part of that?

“Statistically, I look at our prison population and I see that there is a disproportionately high number of African-American males in our prison population for crimes, particularly for violent crimes. So statistically, when a police officer sees a brown man like my Jude walking down the road — as opposed to my white nerdy kids, my white nerdy men walking down the road — because of the statistics that he knows in his head, that these police officers know in their head, they’re going to know that statistically my brown son is more likely to commit a violent offense over my white sons.”
Anyone want to own this one? Blink twice if "yes" but your wife or daughter is standing behind you.
I would see that as an improvement over what we currently have, where every lifetime welfare leech still gets to vote for more free cheese.Every tax-paying citizen, regardless of race, sexual orientation, or assets gets 1 vote.

I'll make you a deal: If I voluntarily pass on the representation (I.e. choose not to vote), can I then be exempt from taxation?Let's rephrase it in a clever way.
No representation without taxation.
Breaking that principle is what caused the "Poll Tax riots" in the UK in the late 1980's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poll_tax_riotsLet's rephrase it in a clever way.

Engagement. I like it. It's a positive step.Oh, and I renewed my voter registration yesterday. I haven't voted in many years, but this year, I will vote against the party of:
- Open borders
- Late-term abortion
- Rioting and looting
- Endless lock-downs
- Higher taxes
Let's examine the smallest and least ridiculous consequences of pitching the very heart of Constitutional democracy and consent of the governed overboard.Heck, I'd take it one step further: If you don't own land, you don't get to vote.
This also needs its own post.Part of the problem with universal suffrage is that people have learned that they can can vote themselves largess from the public treasury. For 50+ years now, one of the main strategies of the Democratic Party has been to promise their constituents more bread and circuses, at someone else's expense.
I've not had the pleasure of meeting either in person, although I've talked with Katie briefly on the forum. She seems nice. I'll just go ahead and assume you've married and raised smart, strong, independent women who don't need any man to think, speak, or shoot for them. Except, oddly, when voting.My wife and daughter feel even more strongly about this than I do.
Drive safe, xkcd/386 later.Give me more time, and I can surely come up with at least a dozen more reasons to vote against them, but I've got 450 miles to drive this afternoon, and so it will have to wait.

Every tax-paying citizen, regardless of race, sexual orientation, or assets gets 1 vote. While it's not absolute, it makes it much more difficult for those who come from humble beginnings to actually come out and work their way up. The system implemented will inevitably be skewed further against them by those who seek to benefit from absolute control.
Thomas Jefferson said:“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
I have my own all-day drive today, so I'm limited in how much astroturfing time I can bill the Soros organization. Just one more quickie before I go:Oh, and I renewed my voter registration yesterday. I haven't voted in many years, but this year, I will vote against the party of:
- Open borders
