“If the purges [of potential voters], challenges and ballot rejections were random, it wouldn’t matter. It’s anything but random. For example, an audit by the State of Washington found that a Black voter was 400% more likely than a white voter to have their mail-in ballot rejected. Rejection of Black in-person votes, according to a US Civil Rights Commission study in Florida, ran 14.3% or one in seven ballots cast.”
"[…] Democracy can win* despite the 2.3% suppression headwind.
And that’s our job as Americans: to end the purges, the vigilante challenges, the ballot rejections and the attitude that this is all somehow OK."
Oh, it’s a bad faith troll, what a surprise, who could have seen it coming, oh no
I just responded the same way you did
If you really think that, I’ll give you one last chance. I’ll explain why your response to my serious points was wrong. You can explain properly why you disagree, without resorting to strawmans or insults or anything. Deal?
My position is: minorities will be disproportionately affected by voter ID laws, since it’s on average objectively harder for a poor person to get an ID (due to transportation, scheduling due to possibly multiple jobs etc.), and minorities are disproportionately poor. You could mitigate this disproportionate effect by first ensuring easy and equal access to ID for all citizens. Even if you disagree on any of these points, you should at least be able to accept that you can get what you want if you give me what I want, and giving me what I want doesn’t hurt you in any way.
So, why do you still ask me to make the first move? Why can’t you see that you’re blocking yourself from getting what you want here?
Here’s my first issue. Earlier you said
I never believed that and you just admitted this was a lie.
You use minorities as a shield to call people you disagree with racist. Then you just say I’m not racist there for I’m right. Except not all minorities are poor and there’s more poor white people.
How about this idea. You call or email the DMV or wherever you get an id, they give you a pass for whatever public transit to the DMV. Easy enough?
I’m not blocking anything, we have voter ID where I live
No, that’s not how this works. I explained my position in the comment you replied to. Reply to that position, not any snippy answers I’ve made before. You want to be serious? Take me seriously and reply to my actual points.
I didn’t read further than you quoting my earlier statement, so feel free to take another shot if you’re serious.
Edit: I made the mistake and read one line further.
No, I didn’t admit anything to be a lie. We said no strawmans!
I already went over this. If I wanted to suppress minorities why would I suppress a lot more white people. Why wouldn’t I suppress all minorities? Why would I care how much money they have?
