In a democracy, I don’t see how their vote really matters less. Plus it’ll help improve prisons perhaps.

    Whatabout the UK, France, and China?

    The UK whose flailing neo-fascist government just passed a law allowing it to deport refugees to Rwanda? Whose government is about to experience a historic blowout at the polls? Whose government destroyed their economy by pulling them out of the EU to try to regain the glory of the empire? That UK?

    France with is neoliberal government? Macaron had spent so much time attacking workers and their rights to steal from the rich and give to the poor that he’s almost handed the counry to the fascist brownshirts of Marine Le Pen?

    This Italy? ?

    And China?

    I believe I said, “civilized countries”.

      I’m very familiar with what aboutism, and that’s not what I intended to do with my question.

      This forum has many biases and I feel that for us to have an opinion on an issue it should be applied to all equitably and not just because the party someone hates does it.

      I don’t disagree with the topic, I just disagree with how you stated it.

        In civilized countries every citizen has the right to vote and equal access to the ballot box. The US has neither of those things. I stand by what I said.
