The single most important issue today is voting rights
If Republicans succeed in the voter suppression tsunami with which they are flooding many states, American democracy is over.
No other issue matters more. It doesn't matter what great pieces of legislation the Dems pass in the next year or two. If Republicans steal the 2022 and 2024 elections, they will nullify all Dem legislation with a stroke of the pen and replace it with their fascist agenda. (And make no mistake about it. Without a federal voting-rights act, Republicans can and will suppress their way into total power.)
Voter suppression could be stopped in an instant if the filibuster were dead. But Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are blocking that which means they're ****ing America beyond repair.
So here we are, watching our democracy on the verge of disappearing. And it doesn't seem there's a damn thing we can do about it. The president and the courts are helpless to stop it. The Republicans are licking their chops over the autocracy they are about to usher in.
Does anyone here see a way out of this dead end? Anyone? Someone?
Ironic, isn't it, that the Party that hypocritically calls itself the Party of Patriotism, God, and family values, are the ones bringing about the destruction of our freedoms. And it also seems incredible fitting that they don't see that their own futures will be in the hands of a very few people who are pulling the strings. And this will, in effect, make the personal freedoms of most Republicans as dead as those of us Democrats.
We are NOT a democracy DUmmie. Republic. Get it right.

Cyrano, name just one item that prevents people from voting in these voting protection laws the states are passing. There’s a reason the courts aren’t stopping them. It’s because all they’re doing is making cheating harder.
Get over it.

16. It's not just suppression
Some red states are passing laws where Republican legislatures select the winner regardless of the popular vote. Now how do you suppose that will turn out.
If nothing else, keep this in mind. Republicans can't win most elections without cheating.
No.
No they are not.

Someone needs to ask for a link on that one! :rotf:

The Dems desperately need to deflect attention from LIEden's Kabul Kluster-F.

Cyrano again. Exhibiting his typical modus operandi...
1- Start a thread that isn't in the news-cycle anymore.
2- Pretend you're more passionate about it now than you were when it was in the news-cycle.
3- Hope that you made an impression on newbies.

Typical. The old accuse those you hate of what you actually do.

Kind of surprised they haven't tried for voter reparations. A black man's vote should account for 1/3 more than a white man's to balance out the old way of doing it.

Don't give them any ideas

Haven't they already implemented this in Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia and Atlanta?
