You admit the penal system in this country is a disaster, yet voted for a guy who installed one of those Southern law and order types as Attorney General.
Interesting.
Should every American be allowed to vote?

Listen up you stupid fuck: the current Southern Republicans were all Democrats till 1964. They felt betrayed by LBJ when the Civil Rights Act was passed into law and changed their allegiance to the Republican party, thus the seeds of the modern Republican party as a party of rich old white men who think blacks should be slaves, were planted. Everything you see from the current GOP goes back to to 1964. They wanted corporations to be treated as people. They want any non-white, homosexual, or transgender person to be stripped of their rights. But to your face, they will tell you it's all about pulling yourself up by the bootstraps...but when you are trying to do that, they have rigged the system to prevent such things unless you meet a narrow criteria, and while they throw on chains and weights.
Should every citizen be allowed to vote. I don't think so. If your parents still claim you as a dependent, you shouldn't be allowed to vote. I think that's up to age 24 if they are a full time student.
Private federal prisons..... Game on.
I'm sure if Trump announced he was going to throw the protestors/dissenters into those types of prisons, Ki and Smoke would be silent...then hit the share button on any pro-imprisonment memes.
I also think that the voting age should be 16.
Can you imagine the cost to the American tax payers if that was the case? It would be apocalyptic. Imagine if every American between 15 and 25 would file their taxes, and of course get large refunds because they don't earn a lot of money, on average, tens of millions of filers, if not hundreds of millions, and the potential abuses that would come with it. And the IRS would of course have to expand, which is the opposite of what Trump and his white supremacist followers are promising. It would be devastating. But at least the lazy liberal dependents would get a vote.
Hell...why not 8? Or 6? "A free jump in the ball pit for every democrat vote."
About as much as I trust people older than 16 to make educated and (non-alternative) factually informed decisions.
In this situation, I trust a 16 year old no less than any other age group.
Young people would vote republican too if the republicans would engage them.
Are you Bender from the Breakfast Club??
There shouldn't be a drinking age.

Blame madman, You Know You Want To.,
I think there should be 5 questions on each ballot and a person's vote is weighted based on how many of those they get correct. There could be a couple basic high school level government questions, then general knowledge about the state of the country/economy. People who don't know WTF they're talking about should have less of a say than those who are educated.
I think the best thing for America is for more people to be educated. Unfortunately, when the 3 branches of government are all in power because of mentally crippled stupid people, and these politicians have realized it and appointed Betsy DeVos to increase levels of stupidity, it's a sure fire bet that the questions on the ballot will be shit like "who Kim Kardashian fugg b4 Kanye how bow dah..."
I don't believe this can work. The questions - and the evaluation of the answers - will always be susceptible to corruption.

I prefer 3 questions
"How many walkers have you killed?" "How many people have you killed?" and "Why?"
That was exactly the point I made regarding the system not favoring a specific party, but thanks for the whiny editorial, you stupid fuck.
