voting rights hyperbole

[baseline bum]

Filibuster should have been gone in January 2021 so we could have had Puerto Rico, North DC, and South DC admitted as states in time for this year's elections. Would be hilarious to see the Republicans not be able to hide behind the filibuster as to why they can't get fascist like the wall done when they're in power though. All CC gives a about is the tax cuts the Republicans will do every single time they can with 50+1 votes.

If the voting rights act doesn't pass, Capitalist/Christian fascism after Jan 2025 is extremely probable, with all three branches under the bribing thumbs of the Capitalist oligarchy, FOR DECADES.

Repugs will pass a law nullifying mail-in voting, force taxpayers to finance Christian madrasa and for-profit K-12, will criminalize abortion so no "abortion sanctuary states" and then imprison women violators, will effectively destroy EPA, OSHA, HUD, etc if the Repug SOTUS6 doesn't first nullify the entire Exec branch by ruling if violates the "delegation clause"

No supermajorities or bipartisan coalitions are required by board conservatives for partisan gerrymanders or voter suppression laws.

Straight majority voting is apparently just fine for states, but not for the US Congress, so long as the vote in question is on anything other than tax cuts, judges, immigration or deregulation.

I'll wait for Extra Stout to weigh in.. someone who likely doesn't Google everything.

Wasn't there a unanimous consent suspension of Senate rules like one month ago so (R)s could simulate opposition to raising the debt ceiling?

Oprah, Slick Willy and Obummer are groveling to President Manchin to pass so called voting rights bill.

Even if Manchin caves, I think Sinema is going to flip them the bird, tbh

Why do you want to make it harder to vote than in 2020?

I want to make it harder to cheat.

Do you protest when you have to show an ID to board a plane?

Know how many of my black patrons have an ID? 100% of them do so I don't buy the bs lies coming from the communist regressives.

Who has cheated?

Is voter ID the only thing you want implemented?

I'm fine with that as long as free IDs are made available by state governments.

Why do you want all these other restrictions?

off-topic.

short answer, the juice not only isn't worth the squeeze (the incidence of voter impersonation and double voting is infinitessimal), it prevents US citizens from voting because they lack ID for some reason. (Sick, disabled, poor, rural, etc.)

Sample size of 2. And one was mixed.

This.

Of course, after all the screaming and howling it will probably go down the drain just like the BBB when Manchin and Sinema tell them to off...

Some on the left are saying this is just another Biden ruse, like BBB, to keep the left from turning on Dems and Biden has no intention of this passing. Manchin and Sinema will take the lead on preventing it from passing because it helps them politically and the other establishment types can claim gosh we really tried so as to avoid primary challenges from the left.

Could you cite the protected right to travel on a plane as written into the United States Cons ution? I'm having trouble finding it.

You're an idiot.

That all sounds nice

Is this your conspiracy theory?

This thread looks like the opioid abuse one, also from the OP... completely disconnected with that's going on IRL...

What is your estimate of US Citizens without an ID? How does one even function without an ID, cash welfare checks, etc?

Looks like they'd benefit from a free state issued ID.

Arizona college students threatened to go on a second hunger strike if Congress doesn't pass the Democrat-led voting legislation by Jan. 17.

"We're prepared to hold out indefinitely now that the holidays are over," Leila Winbury, a junior at Arizona State University, told Fox News Digital. "I have seen the consequences of a broken democracy my entire life, so we're willing to suffer the consequences of hunger striking rather than the consequences of the bill not passing."

She said the next hunger strike will be "a lot bigger" than the 15-day one organized in December.

"Nationwide hunger-striking, more than likely," she noted.

paves the way for implementation of Texas’ voter ID law

If every state were like this, great.

I'm glad we settled this thing that was settled eight years ago.

Now why do you want to make it more difficult to vote than it was in 2020?
