You’re already legally required to manually register with the selective service if you are male and you turn 18.
Why not just introduce legislation to end that requirement altogether.
AFAIK this is only required if you apply for financial aid for college.
That’s transphobic. Trans women shouldn’t have to sign up for the draft.
yeah, it sucks. heres a good essay on that issue
Remember kids, you can be a draft dodger and be president 😎👉👉
Which would be fine if said draft dodger wasn’t a chickenhawk.
Things are only bad if Donald Trump does them.
Automatic draft, but notvoter registration…
Automatic registration for Selective Services, not automatic draft. That’s very different. This is actually helpful in keeping people out of prison or getting fined for not registering.
But yes, this absolutely proves that they could automatically register people to vote with no designated party affiliation.
As a European I have always been confused when Americans talk about “voter registration”. The way it works in my country is you are legally required to register your residence with the government and that registration is automatically used to determine a voter registry (just filtering by age, citizenship and exclusion due to criminal convictions all of which is information already known to the government). I always just get a letter a few weeks before elections informing me where my polling place is.
Btw it’s insane to exclude people in a supposed democracy based on criminal convictions.
It’s by design, if everyone voted, there would only be a very limited few republikkklowns in office, if any.
It seems that they exclude people wherever the commenter lives too.
Can exclude, not all of them do, I think it has to be a specific part of the sentence (ie not automatic) because some high court ruled that some years ago.
Can exclude, not all of them do Who are “them”?
Who is excluding people where you live and why can they do that? Isn’t it handled centrally by a single governmental body?
I know I’m not the smartest fork in the kitchen, but how are they able to just pass this when it should be something we get to vote on?
I mean if you wanna argue that that is the way it should work, I guess we could have that conversation.
(Way too many people I know won’t keep themselves informed enough to vote on representatives, let alone understanding every individual bill well enough to vote on those.)
But if you’re under the impression that that is how it currently works, I guess all I can really do is recommend you take a civics class or something cause that’s wild lmao
Prove to me right now that the average congressional rep knows everything they vote on as much as they should.
Prove to you a thing you just made up that nobody said?
I’m go with nah.
Fine don’t. Continue to believe that Moscow Mitch is better informed and makes wiser decisions than a well read 15 year old.
This will help bring down Inflation!
