Re: 2nd Term - Part 3 - Echo Chambers, Chorales, and Wingnuts, Oh My!
Ladies, please. Google "democrats registering felons" and you'll get page after page of articles explaining this long running, expensive, continuing effort to expand the franchise. Take your pick. How you play this game is to demand a source, then claim the source isn't journalistically up to your standards. So, as I say, Google it, and take your pick. If you're truly interested in learning what your party is up to (assuming you're so ignorant that you're unaware) then there's plenty of information out there. So get to work and look it up.
As to the "bus thing" let me explain it again for the hebephrenic: when so-called provisional ballot laws were offered and debated, there were Democrats who wanted these folks to be able to vote in one central precinct, for the reasons I mentioned. I'm not aware of any jurisdiction that permits this nonsense. And didn't say there were any that did, only that it was suggested. And I offered the obvious reason why it would be suggested.
So the bus thing was theoretical? If so, why did you use it as part of your "well they're doing this, so it's okay if we do that" argument about voter ID?
Again, the GOP has enacted or is trying to enact voter ID laws and other forms of voter suppression in an obviously coordinated effort across most of the country where they hold power. This is FACT, not theoretical.
You could argue that the why is theoretical, but anyone of even moderate intelligence can connect those dots.
As for the felon thing, I saw articles that say that most of the 5 mil felons would vote Dem if allowed to vote. How many would actually vote? Who knows?
I couldn't find anything that says that multiple states across the country where Democrats hold sway are trying to pass laws to allow them to vote in a desperate attempt to hold onto power in a demographically challenging future.
Just admit that the voter ID stuff is a strategy just like the union busting stuff. The GOP got away with the union busting and it was a major victory for them and a good (political) strategy.
If they get away with all of this voter suppression, it may benefit them in huge ways. It's a good strategy and it's only aimed at winning elections in the future when the numbers will in all other ways be against the GOP.
Even if voter ID makes some common sense, admit that it's being done right now by these state governments as a ploy. To claim anything else is the height on intellectual dishonesty and only makes one look like a fool.
) legend? I've never been asked to get on a bus to vote in some other area, presumably multiple times. How do they find these people? What do they do to make it worth the bus-riding voter's time? I'm intrigued by a ride on the Vote Bus. How do I get on?
