The other thing Democrats should do is support for Free National Voter ID, which would force Republicans to oppose Free National Voter ID, something Republicans already oppose, but nobody ever forces them to explain why.

This is an oddity. At a dinner party on Saturday I brought this issue up and none of the Republicans could articulate why this is a problem, though there were no Democrats able to articulate a reason either.

Because Democrats don't seem to like it either?

"There are only three problems with a national ID: Republicans hate it, Libertarians hate it, and Democrats hate it," says Kathleen Unger, the founder of VoteRiders, an organization devoted to helping people obtain ID.

Rather old but will the ACLU change its mind? This is in regard to the 9/11 Commission report.

"We all want a country that is as safe as possible," said Marvin Johnson, an ACLU Legislative Counsel. "But 'Big Brother' provisions such as a national ID card would only serve to restrict our freedoms and invade our privacy and do nothing to ensure our security."

Regarding the topic, this is just "dust" its obfuscation, just look at what Spanberger did, campaigned in the middle, went CRAZY with taxation on NEW taxes on electric landscaping equipment.

Your continual dismissal of any criticisms of how Covid was responded to often comes across as the latter.

I dismiss criticisms that aren't warranted or accurate.

For instance, calling the vaccine "experimental" or "untested." Neither of those are true.

The new vaccines were not tested for long term safety. Lots of corners were cut. But yet no one is supposed to question that even though Operation Warp Speed mostly happened under the first Trump admin?

I explicitly state long term response wasn't tested because the situation didn't allow for it. It would have been foolish to insist on it.

Otherwise, what corners were cut? Name them specifically.

From what I saw, elderly people were able to tolerate the side effects of the vaccine much better compared to people around my own age. Which begs the question whether it was necessary to provoke such a strong response in some people's bodies to the point where they couldn't work or drive or even walk sometimes.

Elderly people "were able to tolerate the side effects of the vaccine much better" because they tend to have more muted immune responses. The side effects were the result of the induced inflammatory response, the very response that is responsible for the better, more comprehensive response to the vaccine.

You're basically asking for a vaccine to be made less effective because some body aches and a sore arm were too much for your little snowflake a&& to handle.

But I guess according to you no one can question that even five years later.

As always, the key is to question intelligently and from a place of knowledge. Those "questions" have long been answered. If you're still asking them, you either are doing so from a less than genuine place or need to spend your energy actually looking for answers instead of asking outdated, long answered questions.
