Nicely sidestepped.

No. Just saying that they shouldn't have a say in how the government gets to spend my money. I didn't say I wasn't willing to give a hand up.Is your view indicative of the middle class Americans? I think your view of excluding certain groups is rather Dickensian.
So how do you distinguish between genuine dole people who have fallen on hard times not of their making, and excluding scroungers from voting.No. Just saying that they shouldn't have a say in how the government gets to spend my money. I didn't say I wasn't willing to give a hand up.
Why do I have to distinguish? If I have to draw a line, then if you're on the dole for more than 6 months the previous year, you don't get to vote this year. It isn't a permanent thing. Duh!So how do you distinguish between genuine dole people who have fallen on hard times not of their making, and excluding scroungers from voting.
Ah, got it. You want to stop all dole people from voting if they fit your criteria even if it goes against their human rights and voting eligibility.Why do I have to distinguish?

Excuse me but who says they have a RIGHT to my earnings? Don't try to guilt me. What kind of a Socialist are you? Remember Maggie's famous words - "eventually you run out of other people's money". That's what happens when you allow yourself to be bullied into allowing OTHER PEOPLE to control the product of YOUR hard work. I don't ever drop money into the can of a beggar but I have taken the occasional lunch order and delivered it. I choose who I help and what I give. No one has any right to demand that I give them anything. I have paid for groceries for the person in front of or behind me if it looked like they could use the help but first I asked them privately because I didn't want to embarrass them.Ah, got it. You want to stop all dole people from voting if they fit your criteria even if it goes against their human rights and voting eligibility.
but being on the other side, the person being stole from, doesn't seem so greatWhen you have nothing then that is a very good reason.

Doesn't every genuine US citizen have the right to vote if eligible? I'm guessing it's in the comic you call 'the constitution ' if so, you're proposing changing the rules of your democracy.
Here's a thought, why not exclude women from voting too. After all they should be raising kids properly to avoid them smashing up congress

Why to America?
♫♪ You call some place paradise, kiss it good bye....♪♫People from most of the nations south of the USA seem to want to get here. We are now seeing folks who emigrated from southeastern Europe and several Middle Eastern countries first to South or Central American, then take the trek north to get here.
And that is exactly what the crazy progressives are doing to this country. I know there are sane Democrats out there. They need to rise up. Of course if they do, they get cancelled so only the brave are doing it but their numbers are increasing.The word 'utopia' means "a place that doesn't exist"
