I think it’s pretty obvious what the difference is between literal toddlers getting to vote (read: parents getting multiple votes) and black people/women getting to vote. I’m not arguing for meritocracy or even what the voting age should be. I’m arguing against the idea that there should be no minimum voting age.
That is just a very stupid idea. The best thing for all of us everywhere is for the most rational and well-informed people to vote. The fact that everyone gets a vote is unfortunate for all of us because that includes voters who vote against the public interest, but it is necessary for a free democracy. Children and even teenagers have simply not had enough time on this earth to make an informed decision. Even if you want to make the argument that some are informed enough, they are far, FAR fewer than in the adult populace. You do not want to broaden that window.
Well said.
The laptop was “real” in the sense that it was a real laptop and belonged to him, but it changed hands a bunch of times between Russian assets and parties with clear intent and motives before being “released,” and there’s no way in hell to prove it wasn’t grossly tampered with, so it almost definitely was. It was a manufactured propaganda tool by Russia/Trump at a time when the public was being given 400 pages of damning evidence that Trump’s campaign was collaborating with Russian assets.
Pagination query params can be in the URL params, but that’s not normal at all. They’re pretty much always use query params, and it’s very reasonable to do so. Filtering, search, and pagination all typically go in query params.
