I have this one friend who I talk to on the phone a lot. 
I was telling them about how another friend of mine told me I shouldn't be able to vote (because I'm childless)

In reply he asked me why I wanted to vote so bad anyways. "Why do you need to be enfranchised this way?" 

I didn't really have a good answer, certainly not to him. To me voting feels like it makes you a part of society. And to be deprived of that is the state's way of telling you that you don't count. But maybe it doesn't matter, that you don't matter to them.

whenever I hear some radical talking about why we should take away so-and-so's rights to usher in the future utopia I'm just like okay bud, acquire political power to do it or shut up
