Liberals, would you advice polygamists and those who would engage in inner-family marriage to vote democrat?

I don't mean this as a trolling question. You all claim that the government has absolutely no right to tell us who we are or aren't allowed to marry. I've heard the viewpoint that no one has a right to put a legal definition on marriage, thus making it exclusive to certain people.

So in all honesty, are the two aforementioned people groups best off voting for those who lean to the left since that is the group that supports their rights to polygamy and inner-family marriage (as in brother/sister or cousins)?

Update:

@Joshua

True, but liberal viewpoints would dictate that we have no right to tell those who are related that they can't have kids because it isn't our right to tell them what they can or can't do with their own bodies.

Update 2:

@Michael B - Repeal Prop. 8!

I agree. I personally don't think that anyone should be told what they can and can't do as long as they aren't hurting anyone else or infringing on their rights. However, the point I'm trying to make is that you can't just add one group and leave the rest out. If you sanction gay marriage under the pretense that we have no right to tell them who they can and can't marry, then you are in fact saying that the aforementioned people groups have a right to marry as well.

Update 3:

@★Ŕ♡MΛŔƐ★

Sorry, but that is the pretense that liberals are putting forth. Judging by your own viewpoints, what gives you the right to limit marriage to two consenting adults? I understand that fiscal things become an issue, but does that give you the right to prevent those people from being happy? And what right do you have to tell two related individuals that they can't marry? It obviously can't be because they could have children with birth defects since you believe that what they do with their own bodies, i.e. sexual intercourse, is 100% their own choice as consenting adults.

    The trouble with liberals is just that they know so much that isn't so.

    The Liberal ideology is a theory , fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and which holds forth beliefs that have no basis in reality.

    They are Advocates of a policy that empowers a strong federal government to enslave its people with a high tax burden incident to the support of extravagant and unnecessary social programs destructive to both the work ethic among the lower class, and the incentive to innovate and succeed among the working people .

    There's no legal reason that polygamous or incestral marriages should be banned. There are unique challenges brought forth that same-sex marriage does not bring, such as the complicated legalities of a multiple-party marriage and the fact that children between relatives results in a increase in the likelihood of birth defects.

    We're never going to have a rational discussion of issues like this as long as you guys keep misrepresenting our positions and beliefs.

    If I say I believe that two consenting, non-related adults should be able to get married, that leaves out bestiality, incest and polygamy. We don't believe that the government has no right to tell us...blah blah blah.

    there is certainty to what you assert nonetheless many will in simple terms see the adjective you chosen to apply and get in touch with you a racist. it relatively is a factor of how the democrats control their voter base. via fanning the flames of racial rigidity. you're pointed out as a racist for utilizing the interest coloured, however the NAACP, are they considered racist for advertising the progression of coloured people? the persistent heightening of tensions between training and races is organic manipulation to create an Us vs. Them issue. The Democrats desire to marketplace themselves as status up fo the little guy. to try this they might desire to persuade their electorate that they are small susceptible and powerless. they might desire to maintain them based and afraid. and that they might desire to persuade them that somebody else is out to get them and easily the Democrats are looking out for them. The Republicans are the party of very own empowerment. They tell their electorate they are sturdy sufficient to make it. Republicans do no longer income from inciting worry. yet Democrats income from making people have faith that republicans are inciting worry. It performs precise into their, "you're a sufferer" plan. And prosperous Democrats are people who believed the lies and experience responsible approximately being wealthy. Now they think of they have the final to redistribute everybody else's wealth to appease their responsible experience of right and incorrect. definite it relatively is manipulation.

  • No. And I would also advise them not to use slippery slope fallacies. Anti-gay activists have still not been able to answer the question how is marriage equality hurting heterosexual marriages in any court case to which they have been a party.

    I can't think of any reason to tell anyone to vote Republican.
