Non-citizens allowed to vote in NYC

...and most of the planet is a shythole.

Caucasian countries are far better.

And that's not racist at all.

Many of them work and are still required to pay income taxes. Taxation without representation is one of the issues that caused America to rebel against England; so it would be wrong to impose taxes on legal residents, without them having the right to vote and have a voice in government.

That, is a very good point.

Taxation by your country without representation.

Funny how that point needs to be explained to certain ignorant people.

No it's not.
It's just a fact.

Yet another reason why the electoral college is important. States shouldn't get more vote in national elections because they allow anyone to vote,

Very ! good point. Libs will say NYC vote is local, but we all know that the libs never are satisfied, they want more more, like they want your stuff. That vote will simply be expanded.

It's only for city-wide elections. Their votes won't count for state or national elections.

Yeah right. Libs don’t want to give them more power😂😂😂

Depends on one’s stance, really.
Should you have a say on how a city is run because you are an American or because you live in that city?

In the UK (pre-Brexit, I don’t know what it’s like now), if you live and work in a town for more than 6 months you are eligible to vote in local elections. Not national elections.

I’m on the fence about it. Leave it up to local authorities to implement it how they see fit.

Moderator Russ wants all members here to vote on color of one universal chessboard. I want chartreuse. I will get 100 classmates to quickly join RHP and all vote for chartreuse.
Geez. You libs. It’s all about mob control with you people. Pass the toke around.

For now.
There have been libtards calling for universal suffrage allowing them to vote in state/federal elections.

So you agree that non-Americans should be allowed to vote then, if they're paying taxes...

How would they determine if they are paying taxes? Bring a W-2 income tax form? How could they do that when libs are screaming about how racist it is to even require an ID to vote?

Anyone eligible to have to taxes collected from them if they choose to work, like legal non-citizens or American housewives, should be able to vote.

Not answering the question.
This would require them to show proof of work.
How can they require that when libs would scream about that being racist or unfair or whatever?

No, it wouldn't. Notice I used the word "choose". They would just need to show they are subject to taxes *if* they chose to work. That would include U.S. citizens who are housewives or legal non-citizens.

And how would they show this?
