Did yall even read the article. You guys are acting like hes trying to pass a law...

First of all, his point is if more people voted, than the election process and the money involved would be more regulated.Politicians would more likely represent the people that voted for them and not the highest bidder.

Stop crying about being forced to do shyt, aint nobody making you do anything.

Plus Obama is out in less than a year. He's not proposing anything.

You know they just react to headlines

REAKING: President Obama Wants To Propose 'Mandatory Voting.' It would change everything.

Mandatory voting? Obama says it would be 'transformative


WASHINGTON (AP) — They say the only two things that are certain in life are death and taxes. President Barack Obama wants to add one more: voting.

Obama floated the idea of mandatory voting in the U.S. while speaking to a civic group in Cleveland on Wednesday. Asked about the corrosive influence of money in U.S. elections, Obama digressed into the related topic of voting rights and said the U.S. should be making it easier — not harder— for people to vote.

Just ask Australia, where citizens have no choice but to vote, the president said.

"If everybody voted, then it would completely change the political map in this country," Obama said, calling it potentially transformative. Not only that, Obama said, but universal voting would "counteract money more than anything."

I'm down for that.

Many countries require military service AND voting as part of mandatory civic duties. I dont see why they dont implement that here

I ain't gonna be dictated at to play a part in a pointless process to add the next puppet muhfukka who is looking out for his own interest. Eat shyt and fk voting.

Its not a bad idea..... I think he's trying to get the majority of the public invested in the election process.... If its mandatory, you'll be more than likely to research your options.....

Most people don't vote because they are lazy and not interested, not because they believe it doesn't make a difference...

People have the perception that voting doesn't matter. But then complain a whole lot when policies they don't like are passed.

I stopped voting after 2000, when I found out your vote don't even count.....Fck you going to make me vote for a country that don't give a fck about me.Obama, I know you a puppet, but somebody really got they hand far up your ass on this breh.......

Breh if you think your vote ACTUALLY counts more than the amount of money the billionaires throw in behind the scenes, then I saw a pig fly today.....

I think it'd be a win for the majority of the "have-nots", but I forgot that the mahjority of this board are of the 1% financial elite

dead @ you thinking voting means anything

nation-wide , sure, but local voting is important.

 

[Nomad1]

People really should vote more, its just the same people voting every time

and the same demographic getting elected every time

 

[Citi Trends]

nation-wide , sure, but local voting is important.

local voting yes, but having the money to bring to any politician is still above voting
there's a bunch of elected black officials who do nothing for black people

so it's ok for @Medicate to complain if a policy is passed that he doesn't like, if he voted. But if he doesn't vote, he's not afforded that right? We're talking about national elections too just so I'm sure

 

[Buckeye Fever]

I never voted. This country's corruption is like AIDS. There's no cure for it. Just take ya meds(go to work)and ride this shyt out til it eventually does you in.

Local elections do take place too.

Local elections do take place too.

Money is the only thing they care about breh......Its so much corruption in local,state and federal offices, it would blow your mind.

In my city alone, there have been countless number of politricktians that are now serving long sentences or have served them due to corruption of some sort.

Voting is just a mirage to SELL democracy, when in fact Amerikkka was founded and is still run via a master/slave policy using Racism and Capitalism as its vessel.......
