The last election didnt go Fox News way, but theyre backing a plan to manufacture more votes.
Hillbilly Elegy author and Ohio senate candidate J.D. Vance suggested last week that parents should be able to vote on behalf of their children now because the country will some day belong to them.
Fox & Friends advanced that idea Sunday, suggesting that Democrats who dont have kids, like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Pete Buttigieg, should have less say in the democratic process.
(Vance) is saying childless leaders are making decisions that are short-term in mind, not focused on the long-term future health of this country because they dont have a stake in the game, host Will Cain said. Parents have a stake in the game, they have children, so give parents a bigger say.

That'll take a constitutional amendment. Let's see how far your hare brained scheme will go.

(33,643 posts)That's giving more physical votes to people who have children under 18 years old.
Of course this is a bullshit proposition, but they're two different things.
Also 'what a guest on a Fox News opinion program says' is not the same thing as 'what Fox News says'.
