should unemployed people be allowed to vote?

[veri]

the united states is built and able to run because of the working class. why should people who make zero contributions to society be able to have any say in how it’s run?

first of all, what reason would unemployed people have to vote? many of them live off of people for free. they don’t pay taxes, a lot live off of taxpayer dollars. they are like children, not affected by any policy changes or by who is in office

second of all, why should neets have as much of a voice as someone who works full time and in many cases subsidizes their laziness? people with stable employment have life experience and knowledge that neets don’t. your knowledge of reality tv shows and mimosas are not useful. your knowledge of world of warcraft lore and which league character has the most fragrant toes is not useful either. the list of subreddits you moderate is not useful. the most that neets know about the economy is the limit on their dads credit card or EA microtransactions.

tl;dr neets have no life experience or societal contributions needed to be allowed to vote. voting should NOT be a right, you should put in your share of work if you want a say in how
the country is run.

 

[God of Nothing]

Oh dear god, no. I say this as someone currently unemployed.
and it would kill the nigger vote so yeah

People who don’t own homes shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

People who don't have land and were not born on its soil, therefore have no real investment in the nation, shouldn't be allowed to vote period.

Urban drifters, immigrants and the "disenfranchised" as a whole have destroyed this country by voting in corrupt fuckheads who actively steal from ACTUAL tax payers while proclaiming they are helping the poor with poorly funded and poorly planned social programs that almost always end disastrously while coincidently making government contractors and politicians filthy rich.

That or your a veteran, in which case you also have earned the right to vote. Its unfortunate that my terms for being able to vote would be abused by both parties to get unbreakable voting blocks though, but it honestly couldn't be worse than it is now.

 

[The Ugly One]

Yes, if they're men.

How don't they have any investment in the nation when they moved there and went through the whole immigration process? They invested more than the people who were simply born there.

What if you've been employed for most of your life, but you happen to be out of work temporarily (as happens to many people) and haven't found a new job yet? Should there be a cutoff, like maybe if you haven't worked for 6 months or more then you can't vote? I can also see some ways that someone could find loopholes or ways to exploit this, such as take a crappy entry level job just so they could vote, then quit right after, or even just mow someone's lawn once right before elections and say "See, I'm self employed!" Or maybe an employer might need to downsize his workforce and he picks the people he knows will vote opposite to him so they can't vote. You'll have to come up with a really airtight plan for this to work.

Only people with testosterone levels over 1,000 ng/dL should be allowed to vote.

Democratic Party center now hiring for the duration of the election.

 

[Turk on the lurk]

Depends on country i guess. The gigantic mass of unemployed people in Turkey is solely the fault of elected.

 

[Fomo Hoire]

Remember being in school or self employed as an influencer are still considered jobs

 

[SpergPatrol]

Well it depends on who it is because there are hard working people who get fucked over by companies due to bullshit reasons, like I know people who been fired due to they did too good of a job, and got done ahead of time instead of staying 8 hours dicking around.

If we had that system though it would just ensure every 4 years we have MASS unemployment, because if a company wanted a certain guy in, well time to purge all the possible voters against it.

We should more likely do a political intelligence test, you should not be allowed to vote if you don't know what half the amendments you voting for are or this is the first time seeing the names of any candidate outside of the president section.

yes there should be a cutoff. and to avoid loopholes the qualification should be stable employment for 6 months or more. the best option would be comparing the last few years amount of jobs and time worked

Yes, if they're men.

why?

People who don’t own homes shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

the cost of living is extremely high in many areas to rent in let alone buy a house. it’s not as easy to buy a home now as it was 50 years ago.

Remember being in school or self employed as an influencer are still considered jobs

influencer isn’t a job and should not be considered one. at best it should be in its own category other than “self employed”

We should more likely do a political intelligence test, you should not be allowed to vote if you don't know what half the amendments you voting for are or this is the first time seeing the names of any candidate outside of the president section.

this is a good idea too, though being employed should still be a requirement as even somebody unemployed who tests competent still doesn’t make any actual societal contributions

 

[Wormy]

So if I lose my job because, say, my employer ran his business into the ground and the final day was a day before voting, I automatically qualify as NEET to you?

Also, what about retiree's? People on medical leave from their employer?

 

[The Ugly One]

why?

Because a government that expresses women's political preferences fails to execute its basic functions.

As for the "unemployed" part, the modern administrative state has all the tools it needs to cause any sector of the economy or any region to suffer massive unemployment on command. I don't like the idea of the federal government manipulating an election by crashing the local economy in a troublesome region so the men there will be stripped of the franchise ahead of the election.

 

[A-Stump]

Not like voting matters anyways. Either shitdick that gets in is going to run the country even further into the ground. Shit give dogs the right to vote. It won't matter.

 

[DumbDude42]

How don't they have any investment in the nation when they moved there and went through the whole immigration process? They invested more than the people who were simply born there.

even in the best case scenario (law abiding legal immigrant doing productive work) they generally don't come to a country because they love that specific country so much. no, they come because they want to make money, and they'll stay as long as the money is available and they can collect it comfortably. then when the well dries up they either return back home or move on to another country and repeat the process again. there is no loyalty, no attachment, no personal investment, just greed and opportunism.

and, again, that's the best case, already a small minority. the vast majority do not even bother with any of those pretenses, they just enter illegally and live as parasites and criminals.

i mean not to be too grim but a lot of them don’t have much time left. they’re already one foot out the door

as i said a few posts back an employment history should be considered as well. even if you were only at that job for a month but had a steady employment history you’d be fine

i agree but the point still stands that the unemployed do not deserve the same voice as people with jobs regardless of how loud or quiet said voice is

Because a government that expresses women's political preferences fails to execute its basic functions.

are women a hivemind?

they can do that either way

yeah man sorry i don’t have to take hormone blockers and hrt must be hard
