Queue something about Trump, Biden, racism, the border, right-wingers getting fact-checked, personal attacks, etc. etc.

Followed by some random side conversation that had nothing to do with the OP going on for 8 or 9 pages

Why can’t we just along.
If the Congress, 50-50, meets on Monday to vote on this question, what would you like for their decision to be. You may say what you would like it to be, but what would you want it to be? And certainly the discussion could lead to follow-up questions, but this would have to be resolved first. Eg, you might say ‘what about green card holders or people who work and pay taxes but are not citizens’………All good questions, but please answer main question. It is a fair question .
Surely you don’t want to haggle over an analogy about people show up on an island, being not citizens of the tribe there.

I'm not sure. It depends on the what the requirements are.

Some non-citizens have lived and worked in the U.S. for years. I can see a case for letting certain non-citizens vote.

With most of those immigrants being socially conservative and religious I’m going to have to say no. But then I’m not a citizen so I probably don’t get a vote

voting has been corrupted by mail in voting and drop boxes, judges usurping the power of state legislators etc , so it really doesnt matter as long as those are allowed

Wrong, wrong and wrong. Try again.

If it wasn't for Republican gerrymandering and making voting as difficult as possible, they'd never win another election again.

So greater access to the democratic process = less democracy, any idea how effing stupid you sound, even on a forum that boasts MB and Average Joe?
