| Former TV CEO Says U.S. Should Ban ‘Straight White Males from Voting' |
| 2018-11-01 |
| [PJ] WASHINGTON ‐ Steven Clifford, author and former CEO of the King Broadcasting Company and National Mobile Television, told PJM that the federal government should "prohibit straight white males from voting" in U.S. elections as a way to "save" democracy. "I think it’s the only hope for democracy in America and I will be leading a great movement to prohibit straight white males, who I believe supported Donald Trump by about 85 percent, from exercising the franchise and I think that will save our democracy," Clifford said during an interview after speaking at the forum "Destroying the Myths of Market Fundamentalism," which was organized by the Center for Study of Responsive Law ‐ a group former independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader founded in 1968. Clifford, author of the book CEO Pay Machine: How it Trashes America and How to Stop it, urged Democrats to explain their policy proposals to voters rather than focus on the reasons they oppose President Trump. "I’m not a campaign consultant and I think they have to get off the fact that Donald Trump is Donald Trump. Every voter knows that Donald Trump is Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton spent $450 million to say every day that Donald Trump is Donald Trump," Clifford said, referencing the 2016 presidential election campaign. |

| #20 Bourgeoisie assholes like this guy enjoy stirring up racial animosity to distract from the fact that they're white, rich, and guilty of that form of theft called "Property." (spit!) |

| #19 He's upset about a lack of leftist success, he's a bourgeoisie and his personal wealth should be seized and turned over to programs to help the homeless. |

| #18 The Left have no firm definition of Straight or Male or White. So good luck. |

| #17 Lost in the discussion is, if disenfranchised, my only choice is to "vote by other means." I don't think they'd like that. |

| #16 At that point, why bother voting at all? |

| #15 Why Australia, I love Australia but they constantly claim they'll go to Canada only to realize Canada is cold. Australia weather is fine and their politics are similar to California's so I don't think the liberals will do much damage, I think they'll feel at home. Plus they might get to hear about Sydney rape and grooming gangs and learn something about the world in the process. |

| #14 Former TV CEO Says U.S. Should Ban ‘Straight White Males from Voting' That's why the left doesn't need to have undue influence in positions like these. But they do. |

| #12 Shouldn't they move somewhere like Liberia? Follow in the success of those black ex slaves who left when freed. |

| #8 It never occurs to these dolts that they could leave the US and live happy lives free from Trump. In fact if all wealthy liberals moved to Australia and burned their US passports it would make Trump cry. They should give it a try. |

| #7 Isn't Hilly's book, What Went Wrong a blueprint for 'fixing' the 'wrongs'? Maybe she's working on the sequel. |

| #6 I almost admire their endless creativity in excuse making and 'problem solving' when their side loses elections. |

| #4 Jeez, he's so white his picture caused a burn mark on my monitor! Heh! So, he's probably not straight so his injunction doesn't apply to him. Gotcha! |

| #3 We have to destroy democracy in order to save it! (Besides we are a republic, not a democracy) |

| #2 ...as a way to "save" democracy I don't believe he understands that "Peoples' Democratic Republic of.." had anything to do with democracy or a republic. He and his like can't seem to grasp they are the real authoritarians, totalitarians, the real Nazis and fascists. |
