@DavidBHimself I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this one.
And yes, I did lose my right to vote when I moved a couple of times, even as a resident+citizen of said location. That’s how our imperfect electoral system works. 😥
@evan I agree with @EricLawton -- "expatriate" is an imperial term. I see no confusion of terminology in his comment, quite the opposite.
In the context of the poll, "expatriate" was used about emigrants, not immigrants, but the point stands. The clearest term, if a bit long and pedantic, might have been "citizens who are not residents".
@EdwinG So, you're basically saying that I and many other people should lose their rights to vote? To lose my most basic right as a citizen because I happen to not live on a piece of soil, but on another one?
Quite a strange way to see democracy, indeed. (see where my "landowner" reference is coming from)
@DavidBHimself The situation in country B is indeed not relevant (resident, citizen), but it is relevant that they are not living in country A because they live in B.
In other words, should A’s not residing citizens be allowed to vote in A? And I’m saying, no.
@malte Citizenship determining national voting privilege has issues, as you bring up. I think those issues should be addressed by correcting citizenship rules, rather than allowing residents to vote in national elections.
@herr_irrtum oh yeah I tend to forget when I posted what and who might have read it :-) (just for fun I had a look: The seller on crack is still trying to sell his Dimage5 for 150 Euros 🤪)
I am so stubborn about not using AI. You have no idea. I will even go as far as writing my own texts, drawing my own images, writing my own code, and reading the whole article or email just by myself. Crazy stuff. #NoAI
If you let AI feed you all the answers, then you are letting whomever control this AI decides of everything you learn (or never learn).That people somehow still trust these tools, and what this means for the future of democracy, frightens me to my core. #NoAI #Democracy #NoToOligarchy
