"Stolen" is probably the wrong way to frame his point.

But overall, has the west become better or worse since the 19th amendment became law in 1920?

Set aside whatever modern egalitarian tendencies we have, and set aside technological innovation. As a society, is the west better or worse overall?

I suspect it depends on what you're packing.

Self determination is a standard of freedom. The 19th amendment (and voting rights act) extended freedom, not reduced it.

I would like to engage, but on a fundamental level, am on a forum precisely because discussing politics in text is on every level superior to TikTok and reels and limited character tweets, so if you could post his argument or assertion I am sure more of us would answer your question.

It's a video where a guy ( I don't know his name. He's referred to as a Christian Nationalist) argues that half his vote was stolen from him with the passage of the 19th amendment.

He's goes on to say, his good Christian wife votes as he directs in order to give him back his full vote.

I'd never ask my wife to vote as I say. I also don't see women having the right to vote as diluting my vote.

Don't tell this clown about the 15th Amendment.

Fringe dude that has found a platform. No need to promote him.

I agree with you, but isn't this exactly what happens all the time on this forum with LW fringers? Sing it to the heavens while proclaiming that whatever silliness was spouted is, in fact, the belief of everybody left of Ted Cruz?

It is easy to spot the fringe posts. And, yes, anecdotal items are posted here all the time. Some are labeled as such and many are not.

Unfortunately, a lot of what is considered news is not so much different these days. We are in the age of gawking at fringe, and the fringe has grown to pavlovian proportions.

Can you sell this to Ms. Salmon? I'm considering entering into a Thrupple with them and giving him my 15th Amendment-gained voting rights.

I'll be singing this to Ms Green if I suggest this.

I mean this is a fringe message board, so why not? I know at least several dudes here feel the same way.

There are certainly fringe dudes on this board. Not Katsung fringe at the moment, but fringe, nonetheless.
