Obama in full Mussolini mode Maybe it's time for mandatory voting



Obama in full Mussolini mode - "Maybe it's time for mandatory voting"

Americans don't even have a 'vote' and haven't for years. Soros owns the electronic 'VOTE' counting machines and  manipulates the outcomes
AMERICA -  YOU HAVE NO VOTE - IT'S ALL RIGGED!


 

(CNN)The president whose major policy achievement is mandatory health insurance thinks maybe voting should be mandatory, too.
Asked how to offset the influence of big money in politics, President Barack Obama suggested it's time to make voting a requirement.
"Other countries have mandatory voting," Obama said Wednesday in Cleveland, where he spoke about the importance of middle class economics, and was asked about the issue during a town hall.
"It would be transformative if everybody voted -- that would counteract money more than anything," he said, adding it was the first time he had shared the idea publicly.
The clout of millionaires and billionaires in campaign funding has been enormous, and many claim the uber wealthy have undue leverage in politics.
"The people who tend not to vote are young, they're lower income, they're skewed more heavily towards immigrant groups and minority groups," Obama said. "There's a reason why some folks try to keep them away from the polls."
At least 26 countries have compulsory voting, according to the Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance. Failure to vote is punishable by a fine in countries such as Australia and Belgium; if you fail to pay your fine in Belgium, you could go to prison.
Aside from campaign finance issues, the United States also grapples with one of the lowest voter turnout rates among developed countries.
Less than 37% of eligible voters actually voted in the 2014 midterm elections, according to The Pew Charitable Trusts. That means about 144 million Americans -- more than the population of Russia -- skipped out.
But mandatory voting could bring its own set of problems. Haydon Manning, associate professor at Flinders University in Australia, said that country's rules can backfire.
"Turning the vote out might not be a problem, but wooing disengaged citizens now requires banal sloganeering and crass misleading negative advertising," Manning wrote. "To me, this can diminish the democratic experience for those who take the time to think through the issues."

Its time to arrest this criminally insane wacko who thinks he's God! Where are the true military patriots? If nothing is done soon, America will become worse than N.Korea. Open your eyes, use the brain God gave you and do your duty!
May Almighty God help us.

I dont believe the American people were stupid enough to vote in Obama for a second term much less the first! I believe the electronic voting is the downfall of any country and it undermines the trust of the people. I for one will no longer vote for a corporate imposter defacto govt that violates the constitution with almost every move it makes and then cry foul about the other party violating the same when it serves their political purpose. It is all a sham and window dressing because there is no such thing as separate parties it is all an act to control the mindless masses to go along with the politics of the day come what may.Most of the people in DC are not obligated to nor took an oath to uphold the constitution for the Republic.

YOU HAVE NO VOTE - IT'S ALL RIGGED! Haven't heard such truth in a long time. It has all been rigged fraud from the start. It has never been about elections. It's all about selection. Are we ever going to wake up?
