What if Obama made this November 8th a national holiday?

[nat4900]

To counter the voters' suppression, openly admitted by some states' right wing politicians, what would happen if, by EO, Obama made the voting Tuesdays for national elections a public holiday?

Would this increase voters' turn-out? Who can openly argue AGAINST a high voters' turnout within a democracy? Would minority voters be more likely to vote during a national holiday?

I think it's a great idea, no matter who enacts it.

Obama could declare his birthday a national holiday, that doesn't mean it would be a PAID holiday.

What do you mean I can't call it Vote For Hillary Day?

As long as it also includes a requirement for a photo ID in order to vote, sure, go for it.

Ummm... the ACTUAL RESULTS of "high voters turnout within a democracy" can, the last thing we need is more foaming at the mouth, clueless morons turning up the polls to vote themselves "free" gub'mint distributed goodies and voting away their own and everybody Else's liberty .

What if he offered everyone under 25 $1,000 if they vote?

What if he said he has a "pen and a phone" and just appoints Hillary?

What if...



Poor Bolsheviks, it wasn't supposed to be like this... Hillary was anointed.

I think I can smell the desperation of you Bolsheviks.

You're against making it easy for everyone to vote?

We should move the 11/11 vets day holiday to that voting day .

Tuesday voting is antiquated . But you'd need an amendment to the con to change it!

Maybe you can make voting mandatory, as the spiritual founder of your party, Josef Stalin did? Make everyone show their filled out ballot to the nice IRS agent to check....



Your panic and desperation is the source of great amusement for me.

I can't help but notice an elitist attitude behind your fear of universal suffrage.

By the way, Churchill also said: At the bottom of all the tributes paid to democracy is the little man, walking into the little booth, with a little pencil, making a little cross on a little bit of paper—no amount of rhetoric or voluminous discussion can possibly diminish the overwhelming importance of that point.

Maybe we can just do away with voting and have George Soros appoint our rulers?

"Great going"...... after all, democracy is over-rated, right nitwit?

 

[nat4900]

So, your "intelligent conclusion" is that if more people...who are eligible to vote...actually do, then right wingers are in serious trouble, correct?

Its the GOP which fears high voter turnout. And you clearly have a reading comprehension problem. Timmy is saying Election Day should be on a day in which one does not have to choose between work and voting.

That's exactly what those who look down their noses at voters are saying, though they don't know it.

Ahahaha the fool has been on holiday since getting elected and going on the public dole, how would Nov 8th be any different?

So "democracy" is based on the party bribing certain segments of society to vote?

Bolsheviks........

Your mistake is that you STILL believe the GOP loses the Presidential election "because gifts".

The actual reason is because the GOP broadcasts hate and fear and pessimism 24/7. That kind of strategy attracts very ugly, spiritually dead people and turns off everyone else.

If you could prove "bribery" then you may have a point....BUT, just admit it (its good for the soul) you'd rather that just old, white, conservative republicans should be allowed to vote.....Come on, admit it!!!
