Voting/Elections

I never endorse a sitting politician more than once since while they may have good intentions they become establishmentized after being in a politician too long, I like new blood

I am against voter suppression . I want to protect ballot box access. I support bipartisan voting rights legislation and fighting back against efforts to suppress voters.

I believe that limiting voting for people is between not good and pretty bad .I believe that both sides increasing voter turn out is the best way to make voting for more fair (and Republicans need to win over more black voters). I also believe that it would be cool if it became legal to have people vote as many times as they want for a candidate like how Wikipedians vote for Arbcom candidates as many times as they want in Arbcom elections each year. There's no evidence Republican voter laws will work

I don't feel the need to condemn impulsive, not well thought and broken voting laws laws like the ones in Georgia and Texas (major understatement). Those voting laws are clearly not racist or meant to hurt blacks. Any alleged damage done to blacks by those laws is due to ignorance by Republican lawmakers

I believe non strict and non photo id should be required to vote when people go to the polls (like in Colorado)  along with obsessively and thoroughly reading and checking the voter rolls 

I am neutral on whether strict non photo id should be required for people to vote at the polls.

People should be required by law show id when they register to vote 

I support a participatory democracy

I defend democracy in its republican tradition where the common good prevails and not the imposition of particular interests. The majorities should express themselves and decide and the minorities must be respected as such, only in this particular way will participatory democracy enable identities to be constructed in a respectable and tolerant manner. The citizens role is not just the subject of human rights but also of responsibilities within the community

A participatory democracy is good because it revitalizes citizens and thus restores dignity and legitimacy to social and political action . A democracy which is constitutionally republiced capable of guaranteeing universal basic human rights, respect for minorities, and groups who were historicsl,y excluded represented under a transparent ethical outline with instances of direct representation and binding participation. Permanent sovereignty is the basis for the construction of citizenry which exercises this right in all spheres of social life, shooting for the development of a democratic culture through all training and educational and instances; formal and informal.

I am pretty open to the idea of direct democracy over representive democracy (due to keeping out corruption) while also making laws easier for citizens to understand.

I support Referendums

I am between believing that former felons should not vote under most circumstances and that they shouldn't be able to vote unless they prove that they are reformed 

Prison inmates should only vote if they are imprisoned within their voting electorate but only if they aren't being in solitary confinement or similar places when voting takes place

I am against DC becoming a state

There's always a chance that the 2020 Presidental election was stolen by the Democrats and Joe Biden. Even if it was Republicans should put the issue behind them and focus on the 2022 and 2024 elections while guaranteeing (within reason) that even the apperance of a stolen election never happens again. I have seen some convincing evidence that it was stolen but not enough to make me form an opinion on whether I believe that the 2020 Presidential election was stolen. For all we know the Republicans were trying to steal the election and the Democrats tried to counter it but went too far and ended up accidently stealing the election themselves. I do know that both sides (more so the Democrats and Joe Biden) used every dirty and underhanded trick to win the election that was short of using technically legal loopholes and that Joe Biden and that the Democrats ‘duped’ (ymmv) many voters into voting for him (hard leftists, Moderate Republcians and Independants).

Barack Obama was born in Hawaii and the US and thus is a legal citizen. However, Obama ,during his Presidency was a snob and Eurocentric which is, unlike birtherism is true. I do blame Obama for not showing his birth certificate sooner since he could have put an end to that birther nonsense much earlier if he had done so. Mentally , Obama seems to have been born on Mars due to all of the negative things he did as President.

Migrants and especially illegal immigrants vote more Democrat than Republican. It would take dumbing myself down not to believe that Democrats aren't aware of this or even that, at the very least it hasn't crossed their mind to take advantage of it. Teaching newly arrived migrants (and illegals) about our political system, our political history the diversity of views politicians have via classes, in addition to teaching them English when they arrive here could help them not be exploited by either party to be their political pawns and make informative decisions when voting, maybe even more so than citizens who were born and raised in the US.
