  I mean, if this is your thinking logic, maybe she shouldn’t vote indeed

    Her husband is voting for her, with her own ballot. That is, he is voting twice. We shouldn’t encourage this.

      One of the negatives of mail on voting that people don’t want to acknowledge. (Because mail in voting good, and everything must be black and white.)

      Don’t ya just hate it when people make their harmful kink both their entire personality, and a problem for good your fundamental rights? It feels weird to say it. But that’s basically what this performative Christian schtick is for people like this. They get off in it so now it’s all of our problem.

      If you put it like that, it almost sounds like we should just let them enjoy their relationship the way they want. Be it not that they are probably actively trying to force everyone into their lifestyle. Which is not okay

    I’ve met these women. They aren’t stupid, per se. They don’t want to “think”. They just want to live their simple life, doing whatever their husband or kids want.

    They don’t want to think about the world. Just their world.

    But think about this for a second.

    It’s the conservative mindset: “The world doesn’t affect ME so why should I care? I’m not being oppressed so everything is fine!”

    • ToadOfHypnosis@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      This is it. Conservatives are predominantly people with little to no empathy. That’s why they change their tune the moment things affect them.

      They’re also brainwashed by the “Christian” patriarchal model. Which is literally “do what your husband tells you” and “don’t listen to outside opinions, just think and do what the church tells you.” The whole stupid thing is engineered to reinforce authoritarianism.

  Well until they actually repeal women’s suffrage this actually works in our favor weirdly enough. You’d think they’d be pushing their wives and daughters to vote, or to get to vote for them. How long til they propose family voting where they can “vote” for their kids.

  She has a point though. There should be a minimum amount of reason to be allowed to vote. Some people shouldn’t be allowed to vote, because if they do, this is what happens.

  source

  • Tuxman@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I understand the sentiment, but it’s a very surface level reasoning.

    The deeper issue is that as soon as you decide one group can’t vote, then the can has been opened and now it’s easier to add more groups to it. And one day a political party gets to power that decides YOU are in a group it doesn’t like.

    Like in certain countries: you CAN present your candidacy for elections…. BUT… it makes you an enemy of the president, and enemies get thrown in jail.

    Or maybe we should be voting for ideas and not candidates ? And candidates should be defending those ideas, but it shouldn’t be associated to the candidate on the bulletin

    Things like: me as a poor person should be paying more taxes and Elon musk should not pay any.

    Me as a mexican immigrant should be deported

    I should not have access to health system!

      This was literally used as a way in the south to prevent black people from voting. Yall failed history, maybe you shouldn’t vote. Or maybe we should remember laws that restrict rights tend to affect more than their target and will be used in bigoted ways, and so we just shouldn’t restrict people’s rights and shouldn’t give anyone the power to restrict others.

      The right to vote shouldn’t be restricted in any way. If you have legal restrictions then all it takes is bad actors expanding those categories and sorry, you just failed the critical thinking test because you think that climate change is real and life doesn’t begin at conception. Better get ready for your shift at Amazon, serf.

      Media literacy and such should just be part of the education everyone gets.
