I'm interested in an opposing view as long as it's supported by data, ethics, human rights.
I can be wrong about things! I'm sure I am plenty of times, and I'm ready to change my mind when presented with new/better facts.
But with the fools spamming fascist noise it's fun to just erase them.😄

The chances of this passing the Senate (i.e., nuking legis. filibuster for it) are slim to none, they're pushing this more for the talking points to delegitimize their midterm loss. But this isn't just very bad policy. It's utterly impractical in the sense that it'd cause total unworkable chaos.
Breaking: House passes new version of SAVE Act, worst voter suppression bill considered by Congress. Could disenfranchise:
-21 million Americans w/out access to citizenship papers
-69 mil married women who took partner’s name
-21 mil w/out valid drivers license

The GOP’s “show us your papers” bill Is the latest effort to help Trump take over elections

The Save Act which should be named the Save Republicans from Total Destruction Act is a cautionary tale for all women. They are literally trying to repeal the 19th amendment without all the messy work. /1

Again. It's consistent, but it's not connected to the "crime rate," however you define that.
The rate of police killings is a function of the scale and type of policing that happens to *innocent people*.

Double the number of police stops of innocent Black drivers? Double the number of killings.

The first thing to understand, is that the number of people killed by cops is not connected to the "crime rate," (however you define that).
Every decade since the 80s has had less violent crime than the decade before. And yet every decade the number of cop killings goes... up.

More specifically, he's lying that the SAVE Act is "voter ID." It creates a requirement at the time of *registration* to vote which is deliberately calculated to make traditional voter registration drives impossible. It is not what people usually think of and many states have, ID check at the polls.

Imagine if local/state officials responded to (e.g.) a gas main explosion the way they've responded to the invasion of a violent terrorist gang.
"We might put it out next November.
Make sure you don't do anything to the fire because you'll just make it mad.

The chuds will definitely *try* to meddle, and interfere, and suppress, and cheat.

At risk of sounding like a dreadful centrist, everyone has a point here and here is my proposed solution:
Be actively worried about 2026 election fraud and voter suppression, and also emphasize the importance of voting anyway
This is the best solution for everyone involved, libs and leftists alike

i think if you post like this without offering concrete steps people can take to prepare for and respond to interference or without any acknowledgement of the success (or lack thereof) of this strategy then you are basically engaged in voter suppression.
