  • 148 Democrats Vote to Allow Non-Citizens to Vote in DC Elections

    From BTR1701@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 11 22:01:20 2025
    Yesterday, House Republicans voted to overturn a D.C. City Council ordinance allowing non-citizens to vote in DC city elections.
    148 House Democrats voted against to allow non-citizens to cast ballots in our nation's capital.

    Only American citizens should decide the outcome of American elections. Yet
    the D.C. City Council (and now 148 Democrat members of Congress) have made it clear they actually want non-citizens and even foreign adversaries to have an equal say in choosing the mayor and other local public officials in the nation's capital.

    What should in any sane society have been a decisive and bipartisan vote to overturn the Council's idiotic resolution and reaffirm a basic principle of
    the democracy that Democrats are always worried is under threat-- to ensure only American citizens can vote in American elections-- instead turned into
    148 Democrats voting to invite foreign influence in our elections, cancel out the legitimate votes of American citizens, and weaken the foundation of the democratic process. These people are no longer just wrong-- they're
    dangerous.

    Thankfully those 148 Democrats were outvoted by 210 Republicans and 56 of the more sane Democrats. Next up: the House votes to dismantle DC's sanctuary city laws.

    I 'memba when San Francisco allowed non-citizens to vote for local school
    board seats, and FPP reassured us-- using a lot of profanity and randomly capitalized words-- that this sort of thing would never happen, that the Democrats are not in favor of foreign nationals influencing our elections--
    yet here we are having to beat back Democrat attempts to allow not just
    foreign nationals but illegal alien foreign nationals to cancel out the votes of American citizens and determine how things are run in America. I just don't understand what's happening here. I mean, FPP is never wrong about anything. After all, he told us so many, many times.

    Trotsky/FPP was never right about anything. Not one damn thing.

    I dunno - I think he was right a couple of times though that could
    well be entirely accidental - even a tossed coin is heads half the
    time and a stoped clock accurate twice a day.
