There was a single polling place where the machines were all messed up and there were some crazy wait times. I’m sure Joe is furiously looking to link the news story right now.
IF he finds it, he will move the goalpost and claim that's what he meant by common.
Ah gotcha. I was thrown off by the term "commonplace" 🤣
That’s what you take from that? I try really hard to think you’re not stupid. Just not self aware and misguided. I might be wrong though. Maybe you are dumber than I thought. There’s no nuance to your thinking.
JFC. What a reach. Could you please explain to me how the Republicans aren’t really attacking American democracy? I want to know precisely why you think my eyes and ears are lying to me. None of the MAGAs on here can. If you’re so middle of the road please explain how everything coming out from the 1/6 committee is just nonsense, Trump wasn’t/isn’t plotting a coup.
The horror! Dang, that new voter law sure is keeping people from voting.
I don't have a problem with that. I have a problem that my elderly mother wouldn't be able to call me and say, "I've been in line a long time. Can you bring me a water?" Instead right a law that you aren't allowed to provide gifts which may be misconstrued as politically motivated gifts. For example, I could drop off bottled water to poll workers who could then distribute as needed. They are unbiased and simply helping the election process. Portions of the law are stupid and not well thought out.
And to think I spent about 90 minutes at the last election waiting in line to vote without someone bringing me water. The humanity!
This thread is about the Georgia voting law, not 1/6. Yes, I know you think there's a connection. Seems like there's already sufficient evidence the voting law hasn't suppressed any vote, despite what you, Biden, et al predicted. So you have to go all 'Joe's Place' and move the goal post because that's all you've got.
Google “Pizza to the Polls”. It is a non profit that brings people food while they are waiting in line.
If people don't want to wait in a long line on election day, they can drop off their ballot, or vote early. If they think they may get thirsty, they can actually bring their own water.
Do you think this law protects the elections? I mean we heard all about election fraud and this is what the GOP does? Was it necessary?
Biden said the Georgia voting laws were “Jim Crow on steroids” and you said “He’s right.” And you have refused to explain how the fvck these laws (which are less restrictive than Delaware’s) are somehow worse than white and black sections, white and black water fountains, blacks on the back of busses and literacy tests and poll taxes.
So you have nothing. You're also missing the point of why I agree with Biden and what he's saying. Again, you have nothing to help convince me that you have any answers to what I asked. This makes me sad because I am convinced that you are smart enough to know better, but you don't stop. You pick this tiny little thing by Biden and want it to be in the same vein as a clear attack on our democracy. Democratic Republic. Authoritarianism is about on it's way, you have no answers other than Biden said something you disagree with.
Yeah…just like that. Fearmongering. You think things are so different now and that we are so enlightened and that things could never have been worse and the only possible thing to happen next is the end of democracy.
Yes. It was necessary because there was no framework around drop boxes previously. Those were an emergency measure because of the pandemic. There was also confusion around terms like 'business hours'. It doesn't always have to be about fraud, but instead making sure the proper expectations are set to make sure every vote is valued. We shouldn't have to have judges deciding to keep polling places open extra hours. We shouldn't have to worry about ballots being in the trunk of some election worker. We shouldn't have to worry about people voting who never registered, or who show up at the wrong precinct. Mishandling votes is just as dangerous as fraud.
How about the water part. Since that is the main point of discussion, I figured you would address that.
I posted on here about the water when the bill first came out. I didn't really understand that part of it, but it's about an outsider bringing water into the polling place. Seems that water isn't prohibited, and polling places will provide water as needed. Is that really a concern for you? Are you worried that provision will prevent minorities from voting?
Lol. You've got so much wrong here I don't even know where to begin. When did Nixon plan a coup? When did Reagan plot a coup? When did the Bush's do it? I've said so many times that I didn't think any of this crap was possible in my country before 2 years ago. Stop making stuff up. Nobody flails around on this site more than you do, so that was pretty funny. I know you try for the laughs so I want you to know you got one with that.
Still on that January 6 thing to try and find a way to say the Georgia Voting Law is Jim Crowe on steroids?
And yet, the Georgia election laws still aren’t anything nearly as bad as Jim Crow. Of course, if I said something as stupid as that, I’d deflect from it every chance I got as well.
So, you meet an 80 year old black person and ask of Georgia was worse for them now on in 1960 and you believe they will say it’s worse now?
It's a simple question - how is this law worse than Jim crow laws? There's no shame in saying "it's not, I wasn't following". Much better than this deflection and doubling down you're doing now.
