Just so ya know.....

Requiring an ID is like a poll tax? Exactly how?

And, Jesus, you want to talk about a solution in search of a problem? There is literally no one in America who really wants to vote but can't because there's just no way to get that darned ID. No one. If you thought that was the case, you'd be pushing for free government ID, not eliminating voter ID.

There are plenty of people who are unable to get IDs because of the significant barriers involved. Mostly it is inability to get the documents required to get a ID card. This is a long-standing problem

so you didn't watch the video. Good to know. Not gonna waste anymore time replying to you.

Proving you are allowed to vote is an "unnecessary barrier?" Sounds more like you infantilizing black people by pretending that they can't do the same things white people can to me. That's pretty racist. And no thanks to the link to "Democracy Now." That would be like me giving you a link to Breitbart to prove my point LMAO!

If breitbart interviewed greg palast, I'd link to it there. You're a damn fool

Tell you what. I'll listen to Greg Palast if you listen to Ben Shapiro. How is that for you?

I am familiar with shapiro. He is a dunce

Right but I should listen to a professional activist who is going to flat out LIE ad spew propaganda LMAO!

he is a private investigator you idiot.

He explains his entire methodology in the video I posted (which you obviously did not watch). You are not worth talking to

Tell the truth Chad.....there's not one single person you EVER watch or listen to that isn't a full on left wing Democrat is there? You don't look for information, you look only for people saying what you want to hear. For my part, I listen to Jimmy Dore, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Talibi, Aaron Matte and others on the left so I can hear both sides of the argument. I just won't listen to activist propaganda. You don't ever do that, do you?

Pallast is not a democrat. Matte is ok and if you like him you should watch Grayzone, Dore is improving pretty rapidly and quite entertaining. Taibi is not my cup of tea but he is pretty good at political analysis. Greenwald is likely an Op and helped the intercept sit on a lot of information they should have released. Intercept burned a lot of high level nat sec whistleblowers and intercept is declining rapidly. I never watch CNN. Never. I am not a democrat.

"Pallast is not a Democrat"- He's putting out videos for Democracy Now, what do you pretend he is??? Democracy Now is not a News Outlet, it's a REGISTERED ACTIVIST GROUP. Name even one single person you EVER listen to that you don't already 100% agree with. I'll take just one. I listen to these guys BECAUSE I disagree with them on most issues but they're honest in the sense that they actually believe what they are saying. Give me a single example of you going outside of your bubble to get any information that doesn't already agree with your predetermined narrative.

He isn't a democrat. Jimmy Dore does interviews on fox and isn't a republican. Think much?

"Greenwald is likely an Op and helped the Intercept sit on a lot of information??" He broke the Edward Snowden story!! Do you know how inane that sounds? He lives in Brazil and risks his life to report on the Bolsonaro government. He LEFT the Intercept because they insisted on censoring his articles. My God, man, which of your propaganda outlets gave you the idea that GLENN GREENWALD of all people was "likely an op?" That's so disconnected from reality it's utterly insane!

Go and listen to Jimmy doors interview with greenwald on the lavagato investigation and explain to me why he admits the role of the CIA? Explain to me why the outlet that he founded and worked it outed so many national security State whistleblowers.

You mean the outlet he QUIT because they abandoned their ethics? Believe me, I'm with you on the Intercept being a piece of shit. And I'm with you on not trusting the CIA as far as I can throw them. But if you're trying to tell me the guy who championed Edward Snowden, Bradley Manning and Julian Assange is "likely an op" you're going to have to provide some actual evidence of that.

And as far as "he isn't a Democrat" and "Jimmy Dore does interviews on Fox and isn't a Republican".....the difference is that Jimmy Dore tells THE TRUTH when he does interviews on Fox. Your boy Pallast is telling easily provable factual lies about the GA voting bill. Not the same thing.

This is pretty funny though. When googling Greg Palast, this is the very first quote from him that comes up..."I can't make this up. The state of Georgia passed a law this week, HB 531, that outlaws handing out pizza slices and water to voters waiting for hours to vote." Since this statement is an outright lie, why in the world would I want to listen to a left wing activist whose very first statement on the bill is a lie?

What about it is false at all?

The ONLY people who cannot bring you food or drink in line are people who work for one of the campaigns. State employees working the polls can, friends can, you can bring your own....it's a freaking LIE. And the fact that you don't know it is is why listening to professional activists for "news" is idiotic. You don't even know anything about the law except propaganda from activists,

[citation needed on the statement on campaigns] You didn't watch the video I posted which deals with removing voters from voting lists, not giving out food. You came in here with an unrelated point without engaging with the specific issue I posted it about. You're an idiot.

The way that voter suppression works (especially in the last few elections) is that they shut down polling places in cities specifically in majority nonwhite areas so that people are in lines for no reason for hours to discourage them from voting by making it difficult. The parties give food to people because it is heinous to keep them standing in parking lots for hours. The food is given freely to everyone regardless of party affiliation and I have seen nothing about that campaign claim. You are just repeating Fox News bullshit. The legacy of voter suppression is undeniable to anyone who knows the history of this counrty. you disgust me.

THE VIDEO YOU POSTED IS FILLED WITH LIES!!! Citation needed? Read the bill you propaganda machine! I know your video is filled with lies because you are quoting lies FROM YOUR VIDEO! Go***amn, you have to be SUCH a propagandized racist to believe this crap. You can't name any instances of of groups of people not being able to vote because they couldn't get an ID or get to a polling place. You are just SUCH a white supremacist that you think black people are children who can't be expected to do the same things as white people. It's really not complicated. You. Are. A Racist. The fact that you don't realize it is what is truly disgusting.

U didn't watch it you lying idiot

Lol no. By the way I fully support free IDs for low income US citizens. You would still be required to show a utility bill and birth certificate in your name and a social security card.

For the ID. Yes I know history and I know what you don't: history is past and today things are completely different.

And yet the same tactics are still being replicated. THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW HISTORY ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT. You are proud of your ignorance. it's quite pathetic

Said the moronic commie shill.

Said the red baiting comapatient.

Lessons of history: successful communist countries

I know a little bit - No democrats voted for getting rid of slavery. Only one democrat voted to give blacks the right to vote. Democrats also created the IQ/Literacy Tests which meant the newly freed slaves had to be able to write their name or be able to read. However since the vast majority of them were kept purposely illiterate as slave meant they couldn't vote. Then there was the KKK, a Democrat creation, who intimidated or straight up lynched blacks(and any whites) who dared vote Republican.

Standford and Binet created the IQ test you dummy.

and Nixon implemented the southern strategy and flipped the script. The relevant period is from the implementaion of the civil and voting rights acts to now.

I'm no democrat, but I support universal voting rights and detest these stupid, arbitrary barriers. It is always wrong.

I detest illegal voters and unfair elections.
Maybe there is a middle ground like free IDs for low income families.

THEN WHY HAS NO GOP LEGISLATOR EVER PROPOSED OR ADVANCED SUCH A PROGRAM? this is utterly disingenuous.

Because no one has. Stop watching the CNN and do your own research.

I don't watch CNN. CNN is trash.

It’s not a Pole tax. Poland isn’t involved at all. Why are you talking nonsense?

That's not what a poll tax. A typo doesn't change anything

Did you enjoy your time-out?

Do you enjoy being a censorious crybaby condiment?

Condiment? I don’t know what you mean. Care to be more specific?

A leftist calling a right-wing race realist censorious. That’s hilarious.
