Didn't Alexander Hamilton have some excellent suggestions viz a resticted franchise when writing as Publius in The Federalist Papers? Start there by using AI to write 3 more songs "In the style of the musical 'Hamilton' that describe Hamilton's recos for restricted franchise requirements." Turning a ship this big, listing this far, will require several tugboats, working together, over time. One massive shove won't happen.
Hamilton songs about restricting the franchise would be very funny, given the sort of people who are most into that musical
I think you are right, but can’t remember the passages; i need to go reread it
Hamilton and nearly all of the founders were obsessed with the idea of the “gentlemen”, by which they meant not being reliant on others for money, which does play into this a great deal
Prostitution is also a crime, just not a felony. It would be a good policy to disenfranchise prostitutes, OF girls, and other people without a visible means of support/gainful employment. But somewhat unnecessary, these people likely don't vote.
I’m all for doing that, but that’ll just push off most of these problems rather than fix them. Social Security’s trust fund was gonna run out even before the fraud problem became so huge
“Waste, fraud, and abuse” is an excellent way of saying “i an going to make absolutely zero cuts to public spending on any item that you do not proactively discredit on my behalf.” And then not canceling programs after they're discredited by a third party.
I would think you'd need to change from the currrent sacred victim, entitled parasite culture (symbolixed by Kneeling Nancy) to a more aristocratic privilege, obligation, honor, and divine order culture (along the lines of ancient Athens maybe). It's a mindset that should be inculcated into children.
This would require a mocking of the current order (or rather chaos) for one thing.
Another way around this is to make the votes of some worth more/additional votes for people who meet certain criteria. Eg married parents with children, homeowners, serving military, workers in strategic/risky industries etc.
Well, this is certainly the Easy Fix for many of our ills. It is also extremely unlikely to happen absent a Second Revolution, which is still a remote possibility. About half the population is terminally stupid or on the dole, and the rest are comfortable, confused, cynical, hopeless or scared shitless. We’re in a bad spot. Glad I’m 80.

This is a great idea.
Hell, I’d even consider only disenfranchisement for most drug felonies. Kind of like sin taxes on OF models and the like.

I think targeting the urban, get out the vote drive participant Americans with anti-marijuana legislation probably has a better return on investment
How about we start by eliminating the fraud and waste first and then see what happens? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Your proposal assumes that state and local election authorities will, in fact, take necessary measures to prevent ballots being cast in felons' names.
This is not a good assumption.
