Illegal aliens cannot vote in US elections. This is a meaningless gesture.

I don’t really mind tbh

 @BCYWZDL from South Dakota  answered…2mos2MO

Define only u.s. citizens. Are we talking natural born and naturalized or..? What about the Karen population, since they have sanctuary in the U.S. would it make it difficult for them to vote?

 @BCVHYT8 from South Dakota  answered…2mos2MO

I think that people who take their country seriously should get out and vote, and those who do not care, and refuse to vote, should be quiet.

If an immigrant is paying taxes, they deserve U.S. citizenship and the rights that come with it.

 @BBVVYM3 from South Dakota  answered…4mos4MO

if you are paying taxes and are a U.S citizen, you should be able to vote

 @BBV3BVS from South Dakota  answered…4mos4MO

No, but only people who live in the United States and pay taxes.

 @BBTZGR3  from South Dakota  answered…4mos4MO

I believe the vote should be extended to permanent U.S. residents as it affects them as well.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
