The list of Republican voter supression transgressions is long, this is a tiny example:

Thankfully the closing of the polling locations was blocked
But the point is, they put a proposal to do just that before the board and the question is why would they do that?

Why? I will tell you why, because fewer black votes means Republicans have a better chance of winning

Meh, a voter who isn't willing to fight for their right to vote is not deserving of it.

That's what German said of Jews who didn't fight for the right to live so they murdered them.

According to your logic their deaths were therefore just

You need to change your handle because because you apparently are lacking in the critical thinking Department
 
elections should be handled federally until states like Georgia can be trusted to handle it themselves. i don't see that happening any time soon.

Godwin your own thread after one post?

Nobody is holding a gun to their head, threatening their family, or imprisoning these folks. They are content to let the GOP make voting as difficult as possible and few even care to verify they can vote before election day. They are not protesting in force. They are not writing letters. They are not organizing counter measures. Liberty is something people have died to earn and protect. I am supposed to feel bad for those too lazy or ignorant to defend a right as basic as voting?

Along with valid photo id....

Godwin's law is about a comparison of the horrors of Nazis with whatever, which is usually a strawman argument.

My comparison was NOT about horror. It was about LOGIC, which is the identical used in both comparisons.

When one employs critical thinking, one thinks one's concept, if it has to do with logic, through to the extremes, to see if it still works.

Thats' what I did. It does not work, therefore.

Your premise is as flawed as the logic you used that I am now debunking.

You must, therefore, abandon your handie of "critical thought", you have none.

The really scary part of this is that trump has been packing not just SCOTUS but the lower courts with neanderthal's that are going to uphold these draconian voter suppression laws. This is why I always come back to the ****ing "no one but Bernie" democrats and independants that hated Hillary so much that they either voted for trump or stayed home. Elections have consequences, people and one of those consequences is that the winner gets to appoint jurists that will rule against your interests. Some people are so short-sighted and have no one to blame but themselves.

So, you admit that the Republican strategy is to deprive citizens of fundamental rights in order to retain power? I think you've earned the Godwin.

Sure take the few and make them the many...I like this pic better. Lots more people too.
Should I take the pics of proud boys or other far right leaning folks and compare them or are you willing to acknowledge both sides have crazies but they are not the majority?

The OP admits the dems did it first. Actually Lincoln did it first. The news about the disaster at Cold Harbor wasn’t published in any northern newspapers until Nov 9, 1864.

Yesterday, I read they were throwing away black mail-in votes.

Yep. Cause each one was identified when they all were signed, “ I be black “

Thanks for proving how racist and ignorant the "very conservative" are. You know, segregation in housing is still very prevalent in our country, especially the south. Mail in votes have an address on them. They can deduce that the majority of people in certain neighborhoods are black and or poor. Either way, it doesn't take a genius- a group not well represented on the right- to filter out votes based upon census data.

Hey,

I came all the way back from Panama this time in order to vote. Each does what they need do ...or its just not that important to that individual. Besides, you do know that everywhere where we [like me and you right now] dont think exactly as do you... is not a new Nazi Germany.

Yano?

Besides, with the walk away movement, the realization by ALL commuities that they do better under the right leadership, with the new young ice breakers like Candice Owens, the liberated minds like that of Kanye, not specifically conservative but just free from left handed dominance. Oh, then we got the improved employment environment for ...and of... all [notice how I dont single out ANY race there?], all those willing to work...

And then, wow, you guys sure got Everybody, just plain everybody excepting y'all, to scratching their heads thinking... hmmm...all somebody has to do is accuse me? Excuse me? That just ain't enough. Damn sure ain't right.

Media still has your back, tho everybody mostly correctly assumes not to believe them, even if they were to get it right once in a while. Things like Pocahantas and pablum spewing Spartacuses are just the red cherry on top. Now chasing folks away from restaurants was too far, too OVER the top. All just redounds to our benefit. We all know Y'all just cannot help yourselves.

Fun, entertaining rather, to watch.

Yano?

My cangradulations on you and calamity playing “ da black “ card. Did she lead and you trumped her? Or was it you only supporting her?

Even Republicans have admitted it and they face little in resistance.
 
I see you subscribe to the Starship Troopers definition of citizenship.

I subscribe to the, "if you are stupid enough to let them do it, then you probably deserve it" philosophy.

Neither. I read your "I be black" comment and it reeked of bigotry, the kind that drips effortlessly from the ignorant mouths of conservatives. Then, when you compounded that with your inability to think of any of the various ways that the repubs could guess the race of a voter, the confluence of dumb and hateful were too much for me to remain quiet.

Never forget that there is no "black card". There is actual history, REAL events that continue to resonate through contemporary American culture. Those events are constantly being understated or utterly subject to conservative amnesia, as right-wing morons struggle to assuage their blood guilt at being the beneficiaries of and, sadly, the torch bearers of institutionalized hate in America.
