Well then by all means if the perfectly-educated people don't care about their own democracy then make it as hard as possible I mean really who gives a shit nobody cares anyway amirite?

Right, and it's certainly not democracy that's good for them, since polling shows that no group of americans think voting access is an important issue. this includes black americans.

And like we used to say in Nixon's day, "just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you."

And like we used to say in Nixon's day, "just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you." i agree with you. i was responding to chas's point about how we all have great access so of course we dont think its a problem. ok, but nobody seems to think its a big problem...because its not. as noted, i think its not an earth shattering problem. we are not descending into fascism because we have to put our drivers license number on an envelope if we choose to mail in our ballots. most people find it quite easy to vote. almost everyone (99.99%) has access to voting. its not hard. its not jim crow. that said, that doesnt mean it cant be made easier and more accessible to people. many of the ideas in the bill are fine and might even improve the situation. and anything that proposes to end partisan gerrymandering is a good thing. THAT is a scourge on american politics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigeraholic1 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I thought it was pretty comical that MLB pulled the AS Game from Atlanta only to return to a bigger stage for the WS the same year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said nothing remotely like this. You certainly know that and everyone else can see that, so I’m guessing this is simply you lashing out at me.

Mr.TaterSalad Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 The GOP requires 1 voting booth to be with in 100 miles of every registered voter. That means voters wait in line for our and poll workers don't get to go home until 3:00am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How soon before the red hat media ecosphere hammers Biden for slipping the pick in hoping it goes unnoticed while everyone is concentrating on news of impending world war?

Mr.TaterSalad Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) Isn't there an election this year? Can't nominate a Justice during an election year right? Seriously, I was nervous Biden would pick Michele Childs, who has a more concerning background on labor rights issues. I am very excited to see he picked Judge Brown Jackson instead. She seems like a terrific nomination to the Supreme Court. Also cool that the Repubs are forced to watch a black woman get nominated and go through with nothing they can do about it. She'll be a strong advocate for LGBTQIA rights and the marginalized, which you'd think Lindsey Graham would like.

buddha Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 she's the worst of the three to be nominated but she should get through on a party line vote. maybe pick collins off. they must know she'll get through with only dem votes because there isnt much chance she'll get more than one or two republicans at most. childs would have been a better pick and would have been an easier confirmation. this will make the left happier for sure.
