Follow the laws of the land and are out and free you should be voting, if you have no respect for the law, then I think you give up more then just your right to freedom.

Yep.

Once your time is served, and your parole is over, you can reattain your voting eligibility.

So in the past few years the left has determined to give or propose illegal immigrants open invites, illegal immigrants the right to vote, higher taxes on people to relieve college debt, voting from jail, abolish immigration enforcement, abolish police, abolish defense, reparations from people that were not alive 150 years ago to people that were not alive 150 years ago, and free everything to everybody because everything is free.

And people wonder I why I left being a Dem

Don't forget lowering the voting age and abolishing the Electoral College.

It's not about solving problems, it's about getting votes, by finding a group of people, convincing that they are disenfranchised, blaming someone else for their challenges, and convincing them that you will give them freebies/perks to make up for it.

We see it on both sides, but not nearly to the same degree. I don't see the GOP nearly as willing to advocate for stupid/disastrous policies, just to get a few votes. It happens, but not anywhere near to the degree that it happens on the left.

No they just want to fix any election they can and limit who votes in the 1st place ... all in the name of something statically does not exist (voter fraud )

Being a realist at times, I'm well aware the political future isn't really up to our generation and I say that for anyone of a more advanced age. It's what the younger generation coming up has for values , common sense, appreciation for what it is to be American, but there in lies the problem; as family units and social dynamics have so dramatically changed. Social media is shaping the future and I find it sad that so many are missing out on what the majority of this board grew up with.
