I know it’s across the border from Kentucky but it just strikes me as wrong that he is from ohio but sounds Southern

Southern is a state of mind, my friend.

Perfect.
No selective service registrations until 25.

I wasn't in the selective service. I'm exempt due to sex. The people we send to war these days are volunteers. However, if they use the service of people under 25 to fight wars, people under 25 should also be part of the process to select officials.

And, senators who have been to war are less likely to vote for war, while voters who are war veterans are also less likely to vote for hawkish candidates. So we can literally save lives by having more veterans in the process.

We need to demand poll tests for voting immediately. Seriously, is this a possibility? Could the solution really be this simple?

Educate yourself on the history of poll tests in the US & come back.

Yeah, that was like a century ago, Grams. Things have changed

You really wouldn’t jump at a chance to cut out most of the people who voted for trump?

It was not a century ago. The future of this country is not looking good with so many running to repeat mistakes of the past. No wonder some states are fighting the teaching of history. If you keep the population ignorant, you can present rejected ideas as the latest great new thing. Make America great again indeed.

The people who didn’t vote before 2016 will likely not come out to vote if Trump is no longer a possible candidate. This is the deal republicans made with the devil, imo.

The military is 73% male, so you’re effectively saying that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Also, people get rejected from attempting to join for reasons outside their control.

I can assure you that they view you exactly the same way you view you them.

Talk about lazy-minded and miseducated...I wonder if PP has ever heard of sweeping and hasty generalizations, or that her anecdotes are not data.
Wow.

Maybe, maybe not. But why skip a chance to keep even more ignorant GOP’r voters out of the equation?

Of course he does. Young people are United against the GOP and all the damage they inflict upon this country.

Speaks volumes about your sisters, but you can not lump all of the generation under that description.

A return to poll tests. KKKool.

Surprised no one has mentioned the 26th Amendment. Which stops this conversation in its tracks and makes this a GOP fever dream.
