You mean the Republican who spins it as racist? I get not reading the article - you’re a busy man and all - but … you’re exactly reversing most everything from that article that you linked to and suggested I hadn’t read. It’s an old article. I’m familiar with it.
So this is useless tech that is meant to foster paranoia (“we really need this because of the nonexistent fraudulent vote problem!”) that we don’t have a great system in place for that does at the least slightly move the needle towards helping disenfranchise voters… … … like I said, you made my argument for me.
Again, great article. Thanks for recommending it. It’s weird that oftentimes elections come down to hundreds of votes in a couple counties. If you could have any sort of impact upon that, it sure seems worth it. Oh and hey the thing you recommend does in fact mention that there is an impact.
It’s weird how Republicans are resistant to other tech to help people vote and to protect the vote. I can’t imagine.
Are you saying Vox is right leaning? Are you suggesting that I’m contradicting the Vox article? I don’t know what to make of this paragraph…
Just because something rarely happens means we shouldn’t prepare ourselves in the event that it does? You want to be caught with your pants down be my guest… BTW you left out the fact that in some cases voter ID causes an increase in turnout. How do you account for that?
In other news WTF?! Why is Fox the only major news outlet covering this!?!
The dead included a man, 18, shot in the chest and head while standing on a sidewalk; a man, 32, shot in the neck by a man wearing a mask; and a woman, 30, struck in the back of the head while standing in an alley,
No, I’m suggesting that if you had read the article you told me to read you would have noted they’re quoting a Republican in that section.
Just because something rarely happens means we shouldn’t prepare ourselves in the event that it does?
Yeah, we should prepare ourselves for things that actually happen–
Totally agreed, great point. I’m very serious here: we should indeed do things that help ensure everybody can vote and can vote fairly and have their vote counted. There are known things we should be doing to help with that. This is not one of them.
BTW you left out the fact that in some cases voter ID causes an increase in turnout. How do you account for that?
For fuck’s sake, man, read the articles you’re pointing me to. I can’t tell if you’re trolling or just drunk. You ask stupid questions that are answered by your own link.
I’m just done on this front. Voter ID laws do nothing useful and aren’t meant to. Every question you’ve had so far in this conversation has been answered by the very article and links you’ve linked to. I’m not going to let you gaslight me any further: if you actually have any questions whatsoever, you need to read the things you say I need to read. If you can’t comprehend them, stop by your local college and talk to a polisci professor or someone else who is able to get through to you.
Even falling down drunk, literally falling down drunk, I have consistently written good prose, pissed off legions with SSF4 T. Hawk - even drawn a vampire portrait of Soviet and his tummy tucked cosplay ex, much to his delight, whilst simultaneously shooting the shit with him during a session of PC Diablo 3, even as he extolled the physical virtues of her sister… and with my off-hand, to boot.
I have yet to scramble a well articulated news article into a partisan version of The Crying Game.
Honestly this is one of my favorite things about conservatives. They’re staunch on something to the point of absurdity. Not that it doesn’t happen on the left. But I won’t mention it because then people will get mad at me for keeping track of both sides saying hilariously nonsensical stuff to appease the base.
Happens a way more often on the right though. Its even better when they contradict themselves. But being about freedom and not being able to smoke some weed is already up there in contradictions.
The left does have a share of the loonies, but I do think the rest of the left is faster to call out its own for spouting crazy than the rest of the right is right is.
Yeah, but it could lead to other serious health issues, like diabetes from all the munchies.
Or, in less severe cases, it could cause a public nuisance. Like being too nice to people or stopping for too long at a stop sign because you’re waiting for it to turn green.
Random internet comments usually are boring but the top comment here is on point:
It’s not that Fox is conservative leaning, it’s that it exists to justify Republican behavior regardless of anything else.
And the Woodward book on the Trump administration is nuts, as you would have expected:
This has never been about liberal vs conservative politics, which is I think what a lot of people miss. This is about a crazy man as the figurehead of both a crazed party and now the country. His staff members, who share his political leanings, are grabbing papers off his desk to prevent major fuck-ups. smh
