Vivek Ramaswamy, Here Are 5 Things He Beleives

[HipKat]

Vivek Ramaswamy, the 38-year-old biotech multi-millionaire running for president, was a standout performer in the first debate between Republican candidates for the party's nomination.

With no previous experience of political office, he has positioned himself as an outsider willing to develop former President Donald Trump's "America First" agenda with his own personal spin.

That includes some unconventional proposals on everything from law enforcement to the war in Ukraine. Here are five things he believes.

1) The voting age should be raised

Mr Ramaswamy has voiced support for raising the voting age to 25.

But under his proposal, those over 18 would be able to vote if they meet a "national service requirement", either by being an emergency first responder or by serving for at least six months in the military.

"We must think ambitiously about reviving civic duty in America," he said earlier this year.

He suggested that those over 18 would also be able to vote if they pass the same test given to those seeking US citizenship.

"I understand not everyone will like this proposal and that it will take persuasion to convince many of its merits, but I'm ready to take that on," he said.

Raising the voting age would require changing the US Constitution, meaning, among other things, that two-thirds of Congress would need to approve the measure.

2) Ukraine should make major concessions

In a departure from most Western sentiment on the war, Mr Ramaswamy has called for Ukraine to make "major concessions" in order to end the conflict.

"What I think we need to do is end the Ukraine war on peaceful terms that, yes, do make some major concessions to Russia, including freezing those current lines of control in a Korean-war style armistice agreement," he told ABC News in June.

He believes the "number one threat to the US military" is the Chinese-Russian alliance, and so called for "a permanent commitment not to allow Ukraine to enter Nato. But in return, Russia has to leave its treaty and its joint military agreement with China".

 

Mr Ramaswamy opposes sending aid to Kyiv and instead believes the president should focus on American interests.

"I think that by fighting further in Russia, by further arming Ukraine, we are driving Russia into China's hands." he said.

3) There should be no national abortion ban

Mr Ramaswamy does not support a federal ban on abortion because, in his words, "the federal government should stay out of it".

He has supported six-week bans on the procedure at state level, however, and described himself as "unapologetically pro-life".

"If murder laws are handled at the state level, and abortion is a form of murder, the pro-life view, then it makes no sense for that to be the one federal law," he told CNN.

4) The FBI should be abolished

Mr Ramaswamy has put forward plans to scrap a number of federal departments including the Department of Education, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Internal Revenue Service and the FBI.

"In many cases, these agencies are redundant relative to functions that are already performed elsewhere in the federal government," he told NBC News.

He has proposed a reorganisation in which the FBI's funding would be distributed instead to the Secret Service, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and the Defense Intelligence Agency.

Former President Donald Trump, the current frontrunner to win the Republican nomination, has repeatedly attacked the FBI as being part of a "witch hunt" against him.

And a Fox News poll in June showed public confidence in America's top law enforcement agency had eroded from 80% in 2017 to 59%, mostly among Republicans.

5) The government has told lies about 9/11

Mr Ramaswamy has been widely criticised for remarks he made about the 9/11 attacks in an interview with The Atlantic magazine.

"It is legitimate to say how many police, how many federal agents, were on the planes that hit the Twin Towers," he said.

"Maybe the answer is zero. It probably is zero for all I know, right? I have no reason to think it was anything other than zero," he continued. "But if we're doing a comprehensive assessment of what happened... absolutely that should be an answer the public knows the answer to."

An official bipartisan commission, in a final report published in 2004, established the events of 9/11 and found no evidence of a government plot.

Mr Ramaswamy later said he had been misquoted by the magazine, telling CNN: "The truth is there are lies the government has told about 9/11. But it's not the ones that somebody put in my mouth."

The Atlantic then published audio which showed his comments had been accurately transcribed.

He's not a Christian. He'll never be elected as the primary candidate by the GOP. Why waste your time?

What's not to like.  We don't have a draft and 18 to 21 year olds are too fucking stupid to be trusted with elections as it is.  I mostly or completely agree with all of these.

Oh, Heavens!  Gibby would never say he WANTS non-white non-males to be disenfranchised!

But you know

If the Democrats didn't secretly want him to want it they'd let him tell the party what to do all the time

so if he behaves in a manner that makes that outcome more likely than alternative behaviors would

maybe that's not so much his fault and really everyone else's

That's a reasonable thought process, you see, it is definitely not the product of a fractured and overpropagandized mind.

Let the Christian fascists win to teach the liberals a lesson. Makes total sense.

So we've got straight-up fascist shit, reward imperialist aggression, allow red states to enforce compulsory pregnancy, axe government agencies that serve critical functions.

Seems like a strong platform. Shame he's such an charmless little twerp.

LMAO are you politically retarded?  Trump is going to surround himself with with cult loyalists, that's the only way he has a chance of attaining power. Vivek has no loyalty to Trump, he's just a sleeze ball trying to butter up the base. But it will never work.

Some of them are. Whether they are or not doesn't matter if they pander to the evangelical right wing nuts regardless. Is this your admission that Trump was lying all along when he said he was religious and his favorite book is the Bible? See, you're no MAGA. You're a RINO.

Nope, but I would require a political literacy test.  There are a lot of people who are too stupid to be trusted to vote.  These would be short written tests.  Name three things on your candidate's platform that you support and one you are concerned about.  Which article of the constitution describes and defines the responsibilities, qualifications of the legislative, the executive, and the judicial.  How many amendments to the constitution? The first Amendment guarantees what? An easy test to past to ensure stupid people would not vote.

Again, that silly constitution...

Well that silly constitution was written by a bunch of elitists who had four checks on you.  First, if you don't own property or slaves you couldn't vote.  Same if you were a woman, Black, or any other minority.  However, lets say you were white enough, had a dick, sorry ICR probably no trannies either, and owned enough property.  Then you could elect a representative.  However, your vote was checked by a Senate that you didn't vote for and that was checked by a president who you voted for indirectly.  BTW, we still have that system.  Then you had the SCOTUS, who wasn't elected at all, and after Marbury they became the supreme law of the land.  BTW, we still have that system too.  More about that silly constitution.  Slavery outlawed? Well. . . . Except for that glaring loophole, read it then see why there are so many more minorities in prison than white people.  

So yeah, we are as elitist as we were in the 18th century.  In many ways the founders would be stunned.  They'd be looking at say Barack Obama or Nancy Pelosi or Dianne Feinstein having office.  Washington, Jefferson, and Madison would look at Obama in the White House and say a mulatto in the presidency that's unusual and what is a woman doing holding office? Then again, the Catherine of Russia is an enlightened despot so maybe.  Then they'd take a look at the bankrolling of the system, the 5,000 dollar a plate dinners and PACS and huge amounts of money flowing into Washington and ensuring that only the richest one percent had any say over the system and they'd say the system works.  I think the only thing they'd be bothered by would be Hillary v. Trump.  I don't think they ever in their wildest nightmares imagined the day when two demagogues were running for the presidency.  They'd say well it worked for 230 years.  That's not too shabby.  A lot of them would say a Catholic as president and whatever minority Kamala Harris is claiming to be the champion for this week? Then they'd look at the money and revenue flow and say well its the necessary biproduct of the system we created.  So yeah, my political literacy test isn't contradictory to the constitution.  Hell, the authoritarian plutocratic nature of the constitution which was designed to keep power in the hands of as few people as possible , yeah that was pretty silly.  

Yeah, when people say the system is broken or the constitution doesn't work anymore.  Nope, the system is working as it was designed.  The constitution is keeping power in the hands of as few people as possible.  Its all working the way it was designed.  Don't like it? Take it up with the founders.

NOWHERE in the U.S. B.O.R/Constitution does it say ANYTHING about biological sex or exterior shade of human being a disqualifying factor for voting. But also had no real criteria for allowing “citizens” to vote. The basis was “ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL”.
