From Rob Reiner, puts the crux of the issue succinctly in one sentence.

And it is 100% true.

The state laws floating around the US by the multiple hundreds to suppress votes is all the refutation of that sentence we need.

So ultrarigntwingnuts, REFUTE IT IF YOU DARE.

I'll wait for it.

In other words, you will never even TRY to defend the FACT there are literally hundreds of voter suppression bills going around ONLY REPUBLICAN states.
I am not going to go to your BS link, it has NOTHING to do with what repubs are doing to suppress the ability of some folks to vote when previously they could.
THAT ALL HAPPENED AS A RESULT OF THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY and is going on as we speak, all those repub Trump ZOMBIES trying to in fact a COUP on the government and it is now clear a bunch of senators, house members and white house staff knew all about the coup attempt and we are finding the emails where like Mark Meadows who claimed he knew nothing about the coup attempt but now emails are surfacing that shows he knew EXACTLY what was going on and is in fact complicit in the coup attempt. And you know about coup attempts, just practice for the next one which might actually succeed.
And OF COURSE I am not so stupid as to not know that is EXACTLY what you want so you do what you THINK will cause us to fall for your BS whatabouthimism.

This is the time for REAL Americans to step up to the plate to stop the NEXT coup where the setup is already in place.

And of course, you being a traitor will NEVER lift a FINGER to stop it.

Not that I condone it, but voter suppression is an American tradition. There is a long history of it since the beginning of this country. The problem is that you are not offended when the democrats do it.

I'm no fan of repubs, but which democracy do you speak of? The one where independent doctors, professors, scholars and journalists are being censored and shut down one by one? And where laws and elections and are being decided by the massive profit-driven drug monopoly and the war industry? And where those exposing war crimes and the destruction of civil rights are imprisoned and tortured to death?

You are inserting hyperbole into the issue. The ISSUE is MILLIONS of people formerly able to vote are now being denied the right to vote. Specifically blacks, browns, Asians, Elderly, who majority vote for democrats.
You think that is COINCIDENCE?

Too redundant, long, Sonhouse. I gotta go do some things!!
But tell us, should ID be required to vote? Jimm is about to do a thread on it. Scoop him and tell us first!

The situation is way worse than that. Way worse! The elections are determined by the news media which is in turn controlled by the entrenched capitalist sociopaths, especially the drug industry and the war industry. Anyone threatening this entrenched, corrupt profit machine is censored or destroyed.

C’mon kids. Tell us, how are they being denied the right to vote? In plain English, like I was just telling my grandmother from Ukraine what that is about.
What exactly would I say to her when explaining that Americans are being denied the right to vote. No pontificating or 20 sentences. What are what is the exact sentence I would say to her?

Former US Attorney General Bill Barr says Hillary Clinton engaged in a "seditious" conspiracy against Donald Trump, and that he named Special Counsel John Durham to investigate what appears to have been a "dirty political trick" to paint the former president as a Russian stooge.

Oh yeah, SUCH an unbiased person. I suppose it means nothing to you Barr kissed Trump's ass every day of his time as AG, attacking Trump's enemies, letting his friends slide and that BTW is PROVEN.
So stick with science, you seem to know more about that than politics.

Sonhouse, I am still waiting for you to tell me how to explain to my grandmother why and how people are being denied the right to vote. Please. Let's have a good debate.
