  • Doesn’t this change the meaning of the statement so much that it’s no longer true that every citizen of age who is a resident is eligible to vote?

    I don’t see how it would, but maybe I’m not seeing what you’re seeing. The eligibility of the people in the article did not change. “Only” vs “Every” still includes the same group of people.

    What did change was the explicit exclusion of people outside of those qualifiers. This could potentially make challenging votes of “questionable” voters that much more impactful or difficult to defend against, and maybe make adjusting the existing qualifiers harder (the only one I can really think of is age), but that depends on WI’s amendment process, which I don’t know.

    Nobody knows what’s going in inside that melon except him, but it really does reek of the old mindset of colonials “discovering” lands where people had been living already for millennia, and assuming they’re too dumb to be worth considering. Or even making a spectacle of them like they’re some sort of animal.

    Even if it’s not intentionally malicious, that sort of disregard has some amount of bigotry attached.









  • While I still liked it overall and it had some fantastic episodes of it’s own, I too felt that the Capaldi era was a bit too harsh/serious. Whitaker’s series gets bad buzz, but I really enjoyed her take on the character and just the vibe in general. It was very refreshing and joyful (with it’s own share of serious moments).

    So far, Gatwa’s has been mostly fun. Probably a bit more camp than I’d prefer, but it’s definitely still good, imo. I’d recommend checking it out if that’s what you were missing from the Capaldi era. And be sure to start with the 4 episode series of specials if you’re going to skip Whitaker entirely (though I wouldn’t recommend that, personally).
