So you have walking around experience and put down those who chose higher education. So what. Who is to say you are more intelligent. It's just different experiences. But I bet you can't research and write like them
It is called common sense. If you don't have it you are lost. You go research and write whatever nonsense you want..........the folks with common sense get things taken care of.
How about we count votes based on a persons income or even better on taxes paid since a degree just means someone managed to scrap together enough money or loans, to pay for the paper.
How about we count votes based on how many calories you expend working for your income, as good a measure of just how hard you work as any?

Since when are people of Hispanic origin minorities in Puerto Rico? Did you even think through your message before you posted it?

In the vast majority of cases, especially in online forums, the term "common sense" refers to the poster's own personal preference, for which they cannot present a rational defense, so instead try to insinuate that their inability to defend their perspective is the fault of anyone who disagrees with them.
What a ridiculously clueless reply. General elections of the sort we're talking about in this thread are run by states, not by cities (nor by the federal government, for that matter).
Regardless, Blacks are minorities in New York City, Los Angeles, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Miami, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Houston, Seattle, Pittsburgh, Tampa, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Kansas City, San Diego, Milwaukee, Charlotte, Indianapolis, Buffalo, Nashville.
So that reply was doubly clueless.
Sometimes I'm amazed at the depths some people will go to try to defend their indefensible nonsense.

Since Puerto Ricans are counted in the US Census and add to the overall Hispanic minority population of the US. You are aware that PR is part of the US, right?
How does being a minority make it harder to get an ID?

No, you are the one who is clueless. Puerto Rico is part of the United States and Puerto Ricans are a minority in the United States. Try to grow a brain. Minority status does not change when you move within our nation. Most people are bright enough to understand that.

He assumes minorities are too intellectually challenged to get an ID.
Back on topic:
James Madison:
“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.”
The problem is not who is allowed to vote it is what they are allowed to vote on. We have dropped respect for the individual and republican government for a tyranny of the majority.

No common sense is just that...............you want to change the definition of it for some reason. Typical.
..then shouldn’t we say that only those with Masters Degrees should have the right to vote?
No, that would be really stupid.
There are many intelligent people who have no need for university, or high school for that matter.
The idiotic Left-Wing and your illegal-national-centralized-government-pretending-to-be-a-federal-government is the cause of silly paradigms related to education in the US.
