President Trump

Nothing stupid about this, How do you think it's so?

It's what the Labour Government has done here in the UK.... had Trump done this (if it suited him), there'd a massive outcry of foul play, would there not?

You’re being ridiculous.
The voting age is already 16 in Scotland, Wales and several other countries in the world, and you’re comparing that with Trump doing his best to make voting almost impossible for large groups of people who are unlikely to vote for him, fixing counts in his favour and challenging results that go against him in court.

The vote denial prog by the GOP is huge. See Democracy Docket.

I'm afraid you're going to have to expand on "Trump doing his best to make voting almost impossible for large groups of people who are unlikely to vote for him" I don't know what you're talking about?

Voting at 16 is IMO too young. 18 is just about right, but we all know why Starmer is reducing the age... oh and up until Starmers intervention the voting age in Scotland and Wales in the General Election is 18.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to trial it in maybe local elections (such are the Welsh and Scottish governments) in England but for me, 16 is too young. I realise there will great examples of where at 16 the voter is mature enough and capable but there will also be very many ( a big majority I might suggest) where this is not the case.

... back to my point.... who is Trump taking votes away from?

You’re deliberately conflating two totally separate things. Lowering the voting age would only happen after a democratic process and vote in parliament.

You must live in a cave if you’re unaware of the measures being introduced in various parts of the USA. These include restricting mail-in votes, making the voter ID process particularly onerous for some groups, limiting the number of polling stations in some areas to make it impractical for many people to vote. There’s plenty more but rather than telling you I suggest you use google. Start with democracy docket as suggested above.

You lost, move on.
You need to get behind the UK.
I enjoyed that.

I'll play - if you can tell me whether he meant nuclear-powered subs or nuclear-armed subs, and if the latter what sort of nuclear weapons because if ICBMs wouldn't they be less vulnerable nowhere near Russia?

Have you been asleep for several years?

No.... so who is it that he's targeting to deny votes to?

I am assuming if he's removing postal votes and polling stations then it id the same for both Democrats and Republicans?

Start here

Then Google Democracy Watch.
Just this week Trump called on Texas to give him 5 seats by redistricting. Naturally the districts to be broken up are populated by students, racial minorities and others likely to vote Democrat.
If you think the activity is the same for both parties, you are badly misinformed.
I am amazed at your approach here.
You really don’t know about jerrymandering, postal vote denial, Jan 6 etc?
