the shame is but I think there's a clip of Vance arguing that parents (read men) should be able to cast their children's' votes in trust until they are adults and that this should start at birth for reasons unclear

Cast their children's votes? What does that mean?

[–] Runcible@hexbear.net 39 points 3 months ago (3 children)

The idea is basically you have no children, you get one vote. I have two children, I get three votes.

Minorities that they assume to have multiple times more kids than whites enter the chat.

JD: NOOOOOOO not like that! They don't count!

Imagine fighting in court with your coparent to see who gets the rights to cast your kids’ votes. Or like an amicable handshake agreement to alternate voting rights every other election.

wut? the man would cast these votes obviously, there's no argument to be had.

Imagining 2 lesbians going to court and the judge being like, “so which one of you is the man?”

[–] huf@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago

in this timeline, the judge would tell them to go away and send their husbands or fathers or brothers in

This is a very strange confluence of capital D democracy and... I don't really know what it is.

That people with children should have their votes worth more.
