A lot of comments people are posting on other forums in regards to bring racist are crazy. Apparently any time someone has made fun of my accent, or how I look, or that I grew up in the South.... they have been racially charged.
Oh. Wait. No. That's not right because I'm white. I can't have ever been hit by racially motivated/charged language because I'm not brown or black. But seriously! If you make any kind of comment that a POC perceives as racist then you're in deep doo doo. But if you're white and similar comments are made to you, you just better suck it up you Whiskey Tango.

The only real issues people in our nation have is saving enough to put in inflation beating assets like stock, or wealth holding assets like precious metals.

Just a thought that came to mind while watching a show that mentions Republicans who want every state to require voter ID. I'm sure we've had this discussion before over the years but refresh my memory.
How does a citizen of this country in this day and age go about life without a government issued ID? I'm not talking about non-citizens, I'm talking about people who are legal citizens.

I don't know what other government ID you might have other than a driver's license. I wonder if the people who don't want to allow people to vote without a government issued ID would be willing to appropriate the funds and make the effort to get all citizens a government issued ID. I suspect most of them would rather just exclude poor people from voting. "Election integrity" is a convenient excuse for voter suppression. Unless, of course, they are willing to get everyone a government issued ID.

I can see the homeless population having an issue with it, but I’m taking about your average poor person that isn’t living on the streets. If your the working poor, you need an id to cash a check, and if you’re not working and get assistance, you still have to prove who you are before you can receive benefits. I don’t think the lack of identification is as big of an issue that people make it out to be.

Marty is an advocate for the homeless. His work in the community has shown that year after year.
Florida gives the homeless an ID for free.

It amazes me you can type that without considering who benefits most from these policies. The "For the People Act" is hogwash. An absolute [BLEEP] show of a bill that removes the citizens' ability to monitor elections. Look at some of the processes that are included in this bill: Automatically register all individuals in state and federal registries over 16 to vote, remove any ID law that verifies citizenship, prevent states from removing ineligible voters, make it mandatory that all states have universal mail in voting (which means all registered citizens can vote by mail without requesting a ballot), remove signature verification, allow for ballot harvesting and drop boxes for votes, and remove the criminal penalty for people who illegally vote accidentally. Just think about that for a second. That is a system that is built for corruption. If you would subject yourself to that, you are a moron. There is even more non-sense in the bill, but I'm not going to list it all. Voter suppression is the narrative Democrats are using to create bad policy. People too stupid to know the difference need to stop voting. Are you stupid Marty? We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

You also didn't mention anything about gerrymandering, nor did you mention anything about Shelby County v Holder, so I know you're not looking at the full background of how we got here and why action is needed.

I know where you stand. You are easily manipulated. They throw in one clause in an otherwise disastrous bill and you go all in. Use your brain. Even if they solve the gerrymandering problem (which they won't), it doesn't justify the EVERYTHING ELSE designed to break our system. You're going to be complicit in the destruction of our Republic. I knew when I made my last post that you would chime in with this nonsense. Your reasoning: Here, drink this poison that will kill you, and I'll throw in a delicious hamburger for FREE.
Show me how I'm exaggerating. Look at what the bill is actually proposing. (04-04-2021, 04:39 PM)Lucky2Last Wrote: I know where you stand. You are easily manipulated.

I haven't read the bill as much as you have. I am sure that some of it is intolerable. You see, the House of Representatives still believes that they are dealing with a functional senate, who will moderate their impulses. So they feel free to pass a grab bag of stuff that doesn't even work. But I'm also sure you're exaggerating the impact of these parts. I'll read it and get back to you, but first we have to deal with this awful metaphor you just threw out about poison and hamburgers. Poison kills. Democracy is dead in Wisconsin. It is dead in north carolina, and it is dead in Maryland. It is dead in texas. Democracy almost died in Florida, in California, in ohio, and in Virginia, but it got a bit of a reprieve. The gerrymandering algorithms that exist today can kill democracy as we know it, make a legislative body completely unaccountable to a majority of the people. when I say it is possible to fix gerrymandering, I'm not talking about anything more than what Florida has already done. Drawing district lines will always be controversial. But we can do it in a way that brings all the stakeholders to the table and gives all of them power and influence.
