I mean c'mon, it's hard to miss the irony there, right?

What's actually interesting is that the factor involved with black people (and other minorities) being unable to get ahold of voter id has nothing to do with stupidity, nor did any legitimate commentator say it was because of that.

The actual factor: poverty¹. That's it. Money, time and resources. All those are in the way.

Ya'll added the "stupidity" part yourselves.

(¹It is well understood that poverty effects more than just minorities, which points to the fact that the voter id requirement is not motivated by racism, but rather classism. Republicans don't want poor people to vote, cause the poor hates their guts for very good reasons).

Poverty? You need and ID to get a job, and you also need an ID to receive welfare.

Why aren't you up in arms about vaccine suppression since you need an ID to get one?

I spent quite literally 5 years trying to get a basic state ID. Not because I was an illegal, but because my files were lost when my family became homeless, and getting birth records from another state costs $60 for just the record alone. On top of that, getting to a government office required time that me and my family rarely if ever had, because we needed to go to bread lines to ensure we didn't starve to death.

Bear in mind that not having an ID means you cannot go to college, you cannot take out a loan, and you cannot even get unemployment much less a job.

It was only through help from a church friend that I finally got an ID in the first place. I got lucky, and now with an ID I'm in college with a job and got my vaccine courtesy of my college.

Poverty is a vicious cycle that keeps you in poverty, cause without an ID, you are sorely pressed to get an ID.

P*** off, c**t

Go ahead: tell me how you can get out of that. Step by f***ing step. How would you go from having to personal information left and no job or home to finally having an ID again and going to college?

Typo: no* personal information left

You live in a fantasy world where poverty is a minor thing to overcome. You've probably never gone hungry. Never worried about whether the power bill is paid. Never sat in a house with no power relying on a solitary fireplace for warmth as the drastic temperature difference between the living room and the kitchen literally makes the house warp. You've never left that same house a year later and found the landlord never paid the taxes on it, and came back to it a month later to find that it was so broken down that the state had it torn down literally a week after you've left.

You've never walked for a mile both ways to get water from a hose that your friend graciously let you use. You've never sat there watching your pet starve to death, only to find you can't even bury them cause the soil is frozen solid.

You've never gone through real, horrible poverty. And I wager if you were ever subjected to it, you'd never recover.

You've got fantasy in place of humanity, fool.

Happy to hear that and good for you.

When there's a will, there's a way.

F**king asshole. I actually had this issue.

this dipshit said it
