No

Define only u.s. citizens. Are we talking natural born and naturalized or..? What about the Karen population, since they have sanctuary in the U.S. would it make it difficult for them to vote?

 @BCVHYT8 from South Dakota  answered…4wks4W

I think that people who take their country seriously should get out and vote, and those who do not care, and refuse to vote, should be quiet.

If an immigrant is paying taxes, they deserve U.S. citizenship and the rights that come with it.

 @BBVVYM3 from South Dakota  answered…2mos2MO

if you are paying taxes and are a U.S citizen, you should be able to vote

 @BBV3BVSProgressive from South Dakota  answered…2mos2MO

No, but only people who live in the United States and pay taxes.

 @BBTZGR3  from South Dakota  answered…2mos2MO

I believe the vote should be extended to permanent U.S. residents as it affects them as well.

This should be a given, so if they must, but I would prefer they use their time on something productive

 @B8SGNRP from South Dakota  answered…5mos5MO

If they have a green card and they are trying to get in legally, then they should be allowed to.

Bernie Sanders Charges Ahead As Democrats Stall Out

Bernie Sanders launched a tour in red states like Iowa and Nebraska to rally opposition to Donald Trump’s agenda, drawing massive crowds—thousands in Omaha and overflow audiences in Iowa City.Unlike the Democratic Party’s muted response to Trump’s election, Sanders is actively challenging the administration’s plutocratic policies, focusing on billionaire influence and federal deregulation.In Iowa City, Sanders spoke to packed venues, delivering back-to-back speeches to accommodate attendees, a first in his political career, highlighting his enduring appeal.He criticized Trump’s inner circle, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the inauguration, and warned of their control over federal agencies.Sanders galvanized the crowd with historical references—suffrage, slavery, independence—urging grassroots action to counter Trump’s planned $1 trillion tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs like Medicaid.Attendees expressed frustration with Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, calling their opposition to Trump weak or nonexistent, while praising Sanders for providing direction.Sanders highlighted the slim Republican House majority (three seats), suggesting constituent pressure could sway vulnerable GOP members to block Trump’s reconciliation bill.Early signs show GOP walkbacks—like Trump’s false claim Medicaid won’t be cut—after outrage over federal grant pauses disrupted services, proving grassroots impact.The crowd, mostly liberal, cheered Sanders’ defense of reproductive rights and jeered Trump’s USAID cuts and Zelensky attacks, though some noted a shift in his base—younger Trump supporters absent.Sanders ended with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, framing the fight as a timeless struggle against billionaire rule, inspiring attendees like Audrey to re-engage and Erin to find hope in solidarity.
