In reply to the discussion: Check in if you feel the same way I do: I will never respect the Shitgibbon ever, ever, ever! [View all]pipi_k
(21,020 posts)53. The problem with
expressing an opinion without being willing or able to answer questions is that people whose questions are not being answered are justified, I think, in coming up with their own answers to their questions.
I personally think that the real answer probably lies in another direction than just being a white male landowner
So...
I'm tired of my politics being race to the bottom because there are more knuckle draggers and mouth breathers than people with at least 1/2 of functioning brains.
Since the terms "knuckle draggers" and "mouth breathers" are commonly used by Democrats against most, if not all, Republicans, maybe that's something that could disqualify someone from voting.
Also, someone still running around with a screen name like "Feel the Bern" more than a month after the election is over is clearly advertising his/her own political preference. And since it's a fact that a whole bunch of Bernie AND Hillary supporters thought supporters on the other side were idiots, then that's probably another clue.
In the end, it's not difficult to imagine that anyone wanting to prevent "the common man" from voting actually means preventing votes from people who don't think the same way they do.
Since the 10th amendment states rights to the states and nothing in Articles 1, 2, or 3 dictates. . .I guess it's up to the states to decide that.
And just wondering if your state denied you the right to vote because it decided YOU were one of those "common men" would you be OK with that?

I'm still curious about your other post where you said the "common man" should not have the vote.

Ah, so I am the one on a high horse? But you see yourself above the "common man." Omg, the irony.

The author is playing for the camera. Nothing he/she says can be taken seriously.

Back to your original post, I admire that term "shitgibbon." It fits the purpose.

The OP is somewhat muted considering the rank insanity being displayed at DU lately.
