What if only 18-29 were allowed to vote?

[Bucky]

Yeah, but what if they raised the voting age to 65? -- we'd be screwn by old folks. And I are one!





What if they repealed the 15th Amendment, reinacted the California Exclusion Acts, and otherwised consulted David Duke on who gets to vote in America?

<== white voters




What if they revoked the 20th Amendment?

<== dude voters



What if they only reworded the 20th Amendment?

<== Ovarian-American voters

What if there was a "greater than median income" requirement for voting?





What if liberals and conservatives cancelled each other out perfectly and only the votes of self-described moderates counted?


(if you think this through carefully, you might see that it's not good news for Democrats)

1. what if only retired people could vote

that was the largest voting block that voted for obama

[Bucky]

9. Largest voting block period, I'd guess.

Meaning it was McCain's biggest block as well (assuming we don't count "too stupid to be a Democrat" as a demographic set).

[Kokonoe]

16. I would say too stupid, so they are republicans.

Much more acceptable

[YOY]

2. Actually, I've thought it though and it seems like damn good news.

Really it does. What logical gap am I missing?

[Bucky]

10. It's like this, if Obama overwhelmingly won moderates, but McCain got 46% of the popular vote...

then that means, statistically speaking, there are a whole bunch more self described conservatives than liberals among American voters.

[Occam Bandage]

17. Yeah, but we already knew that. nt

[YOY]

18. and they're mostly old: going to die out...literally.

If we can actually fix the education system and get some fairness in the media they WILL die out in all senses.

of course there is that theory the folks get more conservative as they get older. I don't buy it.

3. Then I would have been put out on an ice flow at age 50.

:thumbsdown:

[Bucky]

11. Look on the bright side...

If global warming continues, the people controlling the ice floes will be kings.

4. interesting maps

if only 18-29 could vote, I would have voted in my final election last week.

[Kokonoe]

5. I think us liberals are going to kick republican ass.

I did think a second or two.

[Bucky]

14. ha ha

made ya think!

[cali]

6. if if and ands were pots and pans, and all the sea were ink, and all

the trees were bread and cheese, what would there be to drink?

[Bucky]

13. if sticks and stones could break my bones but only words could hurt me

then I would be a splash of sea and little whales would squirt me

[blondeatlast]

7. Then the President could not vote for her/himself. nt

[nyc 4 Biden]

8. Thanks for the maps Bucky.

This kept me entertained for a good ten minutes. :)

[NoPasaran]

12. What if only YouTube auteurs were allowed to vote?

:scared:

[Bucky]

15. President Hilton

To be fair, Paris Hilton did come up with the best energy proposal.

Too bad she won't be 35 until... um... she gets a boob job.

[WI_DEM]

19. why did 18-29 year olds in GA and LA vote for McCain?

[Bucky]

24. Because most of them thought he would be a better president.

Why did anyone vote for McCain?

[Orsino]

20. Hilton-Lohan '08, baby!

Seriously, if the electorate were that young, it wouldn't have been an Obama-McCain battle.

21. "Never trust anyone over 30" - "Wild in the Streets" (1968)

[Labors of Hercules]

22. Many Young people are democrats,

but are just to "independent" to admit it. :shrug:

[tabbycat31]

23. quick question
