Parents are fucking tired from dealing with their kids so they should get no vote because good parents don’t have the energy to inform themselves.
It’s not undemocratic for people to be uneven. There’s already precedent for taking away votes from certain groups.
I don’t think we should do it, but it’s not a bad idea.
I have a problem with your opinion because there’s some high profile eyeliner with something vaguely resembling a human behind it advocating for it.
We all know the next step is to take away the votes of anyone they don’t like. “We showed parents have skin in the game. But not adoptive parents because that’s not their natural born child.” “Since the gays can’t have children they don’t get a vote.” “Hispanic people are just having more children so they get more votes, we need to level the playing field.”
Just because I didn’t shoot children out of my dick or however they’re born doesn’t mean I have less skin in the game. To say otherwise is self serving garbage. I have nephews and nieces that I’m very involved with.
You want an extra vote? Go to the school board. Your vote there counts for thousands because there’s no one going. That’s how these far right folks with a censorship agenda get their shit done.
Hello not-a-parent.
Parent of 3, own two businesses, coach kids sport, second job and university student studying global defense challenges and organizational sustainability.
How are you keeping yourself informed with all that not-a-parent energy?
You must be an awful parent if you’re keeping yourself informed because you wouldn’t have the energy if you were a good parent. Do we really want bad parents voting? These people can’t even prioritize their households, much less their nation!!!
If you couldn’t tell, both the comment you replied to and this one is over the top garbage. Of course I don’t think parents shouldn’t vote. That’s fucking stupid. Things are happening that affect them and their family. But to say that they should get extra votes because they have kids is also fucking stupid. Things are happening that affect me and my family just the same.
Just because I’m adopted and my nieces and nephews don’t share my DNA doesn’t mean I don’t want a better world for them. Just because some meth heads shat me out doesn’t mean they should get to vote more.
