Voting Rights Act, we hardly knew ye!

I'd love to hear Boaz's take on all these election shenanigans, in light of the fact that we are not a democracy. I wonder why Boaz thinks Republicans are making so many changes to elections if we are not a democracy.

Perhaps he'd say, "It's to make sure we are not a Democracy."

They're putting a thumb on the scale any way they can.

Every Accusation is a Confession with these People.

SCOTUS is completely Corrupted.

Good. Just in time for the midterms. Racially segregated maps flies in the face of the Voting Rights Act.

Clearly, today's Republican Party is as yesterdays was...segregation in terms of who gets to be at the top of the economic pyramid, and who gets discriminated against in the voting booth...all to support the billionaire oligarchs who run this country. Yes, things are getting more and more expensive, but the money is flowing into their pockets, out of your's.
