Just to clarify, all men at the age of 18 are currently required to register by law. This just automates the process.

Whenever I look up a topic and the only "news" outlets covering a topic are right wing rags it's odd. Maybe waving the big, scary government overreach is coming for you is supposed to scare voters to trump, dunno?

But... but it was the house that passed it... the house is currently run by republicans...

That won't stop Republicans from blaming Democrats for it if it's unpopular with their base. Afterall, there were democrats present for the vote

But automatic registration for voting still is evil right?

Yes, we should make that harder. You have to go to the 4th Presbyterian church on the 2nd Tuesday of the week directly following the harvest moon to register. And only Sandra can register you, if it's Patty there you're screwed.

Yeah, then some of the wrong people might vote. /s

I think the bigger story is that the Senate is proposing an amendment that includes women in the draft

This isn't only being covered by right wing rags.

I found it on Yahoo and military news sites too. The rest were heavy right lean to full-on wack job. So you're not wrong.

More likely to say we are owning milenials/genZ wokes by teaching them manly army stuff.
