Biden Losing It

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Being drunk isn't an ethic race. Your analogy is terribly flawed

At no point in this thread have I been talking about race.  I've been talking about voting-- speficially that incarcerated felons, having shown that they're not willing to accept the responsibilities of the social contract, shouldn't be allowed a vote in the management of the society.

Saying, "Well, incarcerated felons are largely black, therefore that's a racist principle" is bullshit.  If they were 100% white, I'd hold the same opinion.

What about people incarcerated for misdemeanors? I mean, if Sue lands in the nick for something like unpaid traffic tickets, does she lose the right to vote. She’s not accepting her responsibilities under the social contract, right?

What about non-incarcerated people who don’t fulfill their bit? Central to the social contract is that people accept limitations on freedom in exchange for security. There is also the requirement that citizens accept that particular classes of people (judges, cops, elected officials) have a certain amount of authority over them. Does a man who loudly proclaims, ‘[fill in the blank] is not MY president!’ forfeit his right to vote? Same for these so-called ‘sovereign citizens’. Even more problematic, do people who choose to not vote lose the right to do so?

Not upholding the social contract is a bloody silly yardstick to use for deciding who doesn’t get to vote.
