GrrlScientist ⧖ Ⓥ 🇺🇦If they can automatically enroll men into the draft at 18, they can automatically register all americans to vote at 18.
Ask yourself why they won't.
why tolerate cheetosGetting really tired of people unclear on the concept.
For selective service, you have to either go to a website yourself, or mail in a postcard. It's NOT automatic, in fact you are required to do it yourself within 30 days of your birthday.
And in my state (not all states, but in mine and some others) they actually DO automatically register you to vote when you go to the DMV, which here you typically do on your birthday.
No offense, but in most regards, your memes are ass backwards.
Deliberately not directing this at one person, because this crap seems to be going around right now, I've seen this misconception posted 3 times in the last two days.
Patch You Up@wyatt_h_knott Did you see this but of news?

That would be why you're seeing this sentiment pop up so much the last few days. Yes, I know voter registration is a state-level thing and selective service is federal. But any state that claims they can't do automatic voter registration in the modern era is just lying.

@Jumpmed Of course they're lying because they actually do it in my state.
martenson@wyatt_h_knott so why are you here downplaying memes? @Jumpmed

TheGoodWalkerI came on to basically say the same thing. You beat me to it.
Scale TheoryWhat's ass backwards is saying it is NOT automatic and at same time say some states are automatic.
What's also ass backwards is not being automatically registered to vote not having to pay a poll tax for a special ID, unable to just send in a postcard to be registered.
What's also ass backwards is downplaying the reinstatement of the automatic draft during warmongering 30-40 years ago, iRAN 1980, Desert storm type BS...
Carter actually reinstated registering in 1980, July.
@SCALETHEORY whats ass backwards is being upset that the reg for the draft is now automatic. who gives a fuck if its bits or pisscards, the fucking draft is wrong but everyone here butthurt over which FUCKING SYSTEM is possible.
get the fuck over yourselves amd go check your own voter reg, just like I do IN THE STATE WITH AUTO REG
FUCK YOUR NANNY STATE
