Are you channeling Kamala? :-)

Maybe. If she asked politely ...

No wonder democrats are such [kitties] about this.

There is zero doubt how this will turn out in every state controlled by the GOP. As noted in #56

The question, I have would be why does the US need voter rolls? Why do you need to register?
If you had a VOTERID of some sort (national card or citizen card or whatever) why would you need to have this whole system, which can be undermined?

That's a feature, not a bug.

The fact that the GOP wants to require a card to exercise a constitutional right before that card is provided to all voters accomplishes their only goal, which is to make sure that they suppress votes from those who are more likely to go against them.

The GOP has been talking about requiring voter ID for decades. But not once have they taken steps to automatically issue IDs to all citizens entitled to vote.

Also, proper verification PROTECTS voter rights by maintaining integrity in the process.

Yes, making it more difficult for hundreds of millions of people to vote for a hypothetical risk (numbering in the thousands over the course of decades) is protecting voter rights.

We wouldn't even put American soldiers on the ground for a few days to distribute aid because they would have been targets for the Palestinians. You think we're gonna put tens of thousands of construction workers out there for ten years to suck up Palestinian terrorist rockets?

Man, throw out an anti-Jew dog whistle and you gullible rubes fall for it, hook, line, and sinker.

#41. Dude, photo ID is required to purchase alcohol, tobacco, air travel, etc.

Which one of those is a constitutional right fundamental to the functioning of our democracy? One that can be easily subverted by putting up hurdles after the GOP/Trump SCOTUS rubberstamps the requirement?

It is funny watching lefties decry this after they made a serious attempt at federalizing elections in 2021.

There's a difference between making sure people can exercise their Constitutional right to vote, and setting up a system to deprive people of that right. If you don't understand that already, certainly no one here will be able to convince you otherwise.

Oi Veh, you think they don't already do that?

And it's thinking like that which got us into the present situation.

Abdication of personal responsibility, letting the perfect be the enemy of the good (or the least worst option). Throwing away votes on third parties or sitting on our butts on election day. And now many of us will find ourselves without that terrible burden of voting or having any control over our own government.

Jill Stein 2028!

Why doesn't he get a clue that he isn't wanted here??

Imagine being such a shrinking violet that one only opens their mouth to say what others want to hear. On a discussion site, no less.

And that's how the Dems got their butts kicked in 2016 and 2024. Because they disregarded anything and everything that offended their sensibilities, no matter how rational.

And Trump rode that anti-DEI/anti-trans/anti-BLM backlash right into the White House.

Trump to Sign Unconstitutional EO to Mandate Voter ID

Good! The idiots who let this crook into office have demonstrated they don't deserve the vote.

Let our overseers decide who rules. Since we are clearly incapable of exercising the rights generations fought and died for.

It's time to have a serious conversation about Trumps health

Why?

The American people didn't care that Putin's Beach was an adjudicated rapist, pathological liar, insurrectionist, 34-time convicted felon who cheated on his pregnant wife with a corn star and shook down a foreign president to lie about his opponents.

Why in the world should we care about his health, as if that would make any difference regarding his suitability for office?

"put the territory into a US trusteeship for at least a decade."

Of course this would never happen. But the "leak" got the press to stop talking about Epstein for a little bit, and that's all that really matters.

Trump is just playing for time. He would never hurt his Ruskie Daddy Bear, but he also doesn't want the world to call him out as Putin's Beach.

Any company actually opening a retail establishment in CA is [MAGAT-like in intellectual capacity].

Yes! What kind of fool would want a piece of the world's fourth largest GDP?

How dare a Democrat write on social medi!?!

That kind of conduct is reserved to Donald Trump, who I support with all my heart, as the Bernie Bro I pretend to be.

Doesn't matter. Trump is going nowhere.

GOP Congress and Trump SCOTUS will see to that.

GOP Voters Favor Third Trump Term

And we should get it! Our nation deserves nothing less for the choices we made in 2016 and 2024 (after seeing the results of the choice we made in 2016).

AIPAC is why we lost in 2024. FAFO

You betcha! And somehow they are also the reason the GOP won.

And the global inflation that cost every incumbent party in the world to lose for the first time in history had nothing to do with it.
