Re: Biden v Dump 1: If not now, when? If not us, who?
We need a renewed voting rights act. There are far too many ways to suppress votes now, and we are seeing it happen in all corners of the country. The world changes too rapidly for 50 and 60 year old laws to work sometimes. The Telecommunications act was updated in the 1990s for the first time in 60 years, and that might have been 10 years too late then. Even since then, it has needed radical updating, and the Voting Rights Act, after 55 years, is widely ineffective against 21st century methods of suppression.
We need to excite enough Americans to vote, and we need to ensure they CAN vote. If we do that common sense, decency and progress are put in motion with peaceful, political solutions. If we don't do it with politics, we gotta do it in other ways. I'm sure most people here don't really like the other ways.
