Voting rights. All citizens 18 an older should have equal access to voting. Beyond that who do you want to broaden it to ?

Then why do you continue to support a party that wants to make it harder for eligible citizens to vote?

1.  Maintaining a woman's right to choose.  Without it, she is a second class citizen.  This isn't Saudi Arabia.  

2.  Voting Rights and engaging the citizenry to care about all elections, not just the Presidential election every 4 years.  

3.  The Economy stupid, but also preparing the US to be the leader in the coming Green revolution.  Being the leader will create opportunity for everyone.

Brazil will naturally revert to the King of Portugal; we are not savages, the law is the law.

2 & 3: We see no need for 2 or 3 once 1 is accomplished. Such righteous adherence to the Will of God as expressed by His Popes will surely be rewarded by a shower of blessings, not to mention that our King will work to benefit us, his subjects, without our needing to trouble our brows about such things-- we need only act with faith, loyalty, and courage.

Bonhoeffer: Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed – in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical – and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack. For that reason, greater caution is called for when dealing with a stupid person than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

Housing- Literally anything. I got very lucky buying as a millennial when I did 4 years ago. Everyone else my age and lower is fucked because of investment firms and the other cadre of dickheads buying American RE.

b) social security card isn't sufficient evidence under texas's voter ID laws.  a social security card with a birth certificate would be but see a).  and lots of people have misplaced their social security cards - guess what you need in order to get a replacement?

they have a right to vote.  but because they weren't born at a hospital where you and I and most of the people either of us have met in our lives were born, it is difficult to impossible for them to comply with the ID laws. 

in a time period where elections are decided with tight margins, people who have lived their lives at the margin and want to participate in democracy matter.  and it's them who are targeted by these laws.  the politicians know exactly what they're doing.  they know that there's less burdensome ways to verify that people aren't voting for others which can be done completely on the back end of the election system.  they know that there's ways to make sure people aren't voting twice other than having people flash a particular ID.  which just shows that those are not really the concerns. 

i have to laugh at the opening a bank account example.  when was the last time you opened a bank account?  lots of people don't even use the banking system.  again, we're talking about people living on the margins of society that you and i live in the middle of.  they don't bank, they don't get on planes, they don't take international vacations, they don't drive, etc. 

 

 

 

You sure like to shoot down any thing OB says about this so what is your solution? Leave it be and let all old black people vote without any sort of id?

Something needs to be done to get them IDs, I agree with OB in that it this is a very small portion of the voting public that fall into this category. We need to get them have a system in place that when you register to vote it you can also get a free id. No bc? fine bring in a few months of bills to your current address, I assume these people are on SS and or Medicaid, use that info give them a free ID.

This shit isn't complicated.... while we are on the subject of voting, why not do via finger prints. Everyone who gets a dl and id is finger printed, I should be able to walk up to a voting machine, let it scan my thumb and I can vote. 

 

My 3 things,

Universal health care

Focus on Education (Texas is in the bottom 10%, pathetic)

Fix the tax system, its too complicated rn which leads to people and corporations being able to not pay anything.  Get rid of deductions, write offs, have a flat % on earned and a separate % on unearned, whatever it is, its need to be fixed

I don't believe there are bales full of ballots just as I don't think its too damn difficult to get those who want to vote an ID. If I have to show ID vote, everyone needs to show ID to vote its absurd to say otherwise and the push back against it makes me go hmmmm

and in an ideal world where obtaining ID was not extraordinarily difficult if not impossible for citizens of our country who aren't living in the main sequence, i'd agree with this.  that's the world you want.  it's not the world we live in and the people in government (and the money behind them) who are pushing the ID laws don't want it to be the world we live in.

1) major improvements to our entire education system, develop future leaders, scientists, educators, historians, engineers, innovators, and better educate those that will not be in those categories, too.

2) healthcare in the states is joke. make it more affordable, with easier access.

3) climate change. take the lead and run with it. it's probably much more challenging to do than the first two but also the most important for future generations.
