No All Star Game in Atlanta This Season?

What the democrats don’t realize is that these moves are telling us a lot about 2020 and they don’t even realize they are doing it.
That consent decree single handedly gave them the Senate.

Biden calling this law JIM Crow on steroids is one of the biggest, most verifiably false lies I can remember a President saying.
And yet, the useful idiots repeated it endlessly as they were told to do

It is Uber clear to anyone with the brain what their objection is and why
The worst part is these lies from the left the past five years have proven to cause murder and violence so it makes it even more dangerous.
But the board principled moralist doesn’t seem to have an issue with it.
Are those kids still in cages?
Yup. The claim that Georgia is purple turning blue is one of the biggest lies we’ve heard. What really happened is Stacey Abrams and her fraud operation finally matured.

The fact none of them will even acknowledge their gaff boggles my mind. 100%
Too many internet points at stake I guess
Someone needs to post the Babylon Bees take on Psaki doing Parkour around questions

It's OVER 5,000!
This is the silliest debate I've seen either nationally or on this board in a long time.
If you support this action by MLB, you've proven yourself a useful idiot or a knowing hypocrite. Period. There are no alternatives, no other categories. You're either too stupid and gullible to know better, or you're just a shill.

If you don't think Atlanta would experience the majority of travel you are crazy.
Not to mention all the jobs that would be required to fill which would go to a lot of black people.
But even if black people didn't get a single cent... the tax revenue alone would be able to go things like education and elections and blah blah.
All are gone now... all have gone to a very white and rich city.
That’s making an assumption they truth believe this bill is suppressive.
Maybe you’re right but I have my doubts on most. Idiots like Goldy obviously can’t think at a high enough level to realize the truth. The others are just flat out shills helping a communist movement take power in the US.

To put some truth here, Colorado does not have more restrictive voting laws than Georgia. They have fewer early voting days but that's largely because they're unnecessary. Colorado mails ballots to every registered voter without the need to request them. Colorado has a much larger percentage of people vote by mail and so doesn't have the need for as much in person voting. Colorado also has automatic voter registration which is one of the few voting laws that actually increases participation. I'll guarantee this system is why lily white Denver was chosen.
The issue is the belief that Georgia's new law is somehow out of line with the rest of the country in term of voter suppression. It's not.
The requirement to put an ID number on absentee ballots is required in, I think, 4 other states and a whole list of states (including Colorado) verify signatures on absentee ballots. Signature verification has its own list of problems as it results in a large number of ballots being excluded. These ballots are almost all valid, they're just the result of people have inconsistent signatures or a signature that has changed. So each system of verification has its own issues and it's not clear if one is superior.
Georgia's requires 17 early voting days and allows 2 more if counties wish to use them (most will) so you're really looking at 19 days. The national average is 19. New York now famously has 9.
Georgia law didn't allow for ballot drop boxes before Covid but they were allowed under emergency rules so people could vote while socially distanced. The new law actually made the drop boxes permanent (though reduced their number). Had this law not been passed the drop boxes would have disappeared when the emergency rules ended.
As for food and water in line, many states (including Colorado and New York) have placing restrictions on this practice. The type of restrictions vary, for example New York allows food and drink with a retail value under $1 to be passed out without identifying the source. Georgia's law allows for unattended, self-serve water stations to be set up. Ultimately these laws have virtually no impact on voting.
The other provisions of the bill (changing the head of the state elections committee, allowing the state to fire local officials, etc) are administrative and do not directly impact people's ability to vote. Since MLB's decision was based on the idea the law suppresses people's right to vote in some extraordinary way, I wont break these down.
So it's quite clear that Georgia's law does not put up unique, extraordinary obstacles to voting. While the truth is the Colorado's voting laws are less restrictive, the characterization of Georgia's law has been incredibly misleading.

I would be more than happy if Georgia copied Colorado's election laws word for word.

1. Triples down on calling it Jim Crow... more lies that the lefts nods along to...
2. Recognizes that the people who get hurt are poor people... seems a little remorseful for his role.in doing it
3. Warns states to succumb to the mob or more pain will come
Hell of a leader

Yeah, if only we still had Trump who would never do anything like that.

I believed I asked you for an example of Trump telling a company to boycott a state...
You then ranted like a lunatic without giving one
