With all of that being said, unfortunately, I don’t think either of your charts prove, in any way, that Black voters in the south aren’t being kept from the polls at a disproportionate rate.

You are grossly overstating its impact.

I just wish we could all stop pretending like all of these things aren’t true.

Suppression tactics are a horrible thing. A very real, very horrible thing.

This is all 100% his fault.

I’m genuinely curious why you think this will backfire. I know that I’m extremely cynical, but I have not really seen anything that the GOP has done in the past 40 years backfire on them in the slightest.

Agreed, but also:  POC’s.  If POC’s voted at national average rate the GOP would be history.

But you can’t simply blame the elected officials behind these things and hold the people who elected them in the first place entirely blameless. THAT’S a cop-out, and if you believe that the voters of Alabama are not broken beyond repair, and that there is hope for them to get educated and do the right thing and stop…

There are many, MANY legitimate criticisms of Bill DeBlasio, but “WHY DOESN’T HE TAKE THE SUBWAY LIKE A NORMAL PERSON” is not one of them.

I don’t let my kids watch FreeForm in order to prevent them from running into this filth. If anyone is wondering, I recently googled why a Disney owned channel would air christian garbage. Turns out Robertson negotiated his time slot in perpetuity before the acquisition and there’s no escape clause.

lol

Fair.  I was describing NC, but you’re right.  For the comparison, change the words “the loser of an election” to “someone else.”

Society needs to ensure that people are receiving necessary medical care while also ensuring that large make-believe entities are still able to rake in hundreds of billions in annual profits. It’s just logic.

That brown man loves Jebus, hates gays, and loves giving money to rich white men, so he’s One Of The Good Ones™.

Republicans would never support handing an election over to the loser of an election where evidence shows that the winner cheated.
