No matter where you draw that line, you create a caste system. I’ll go ahead and pass on that.

If a wealthy 40-year-old wants to eliminate a bunch of laws and programs that protect the vulnerable, do I get to choose if he votes too?

You’re actively trying to take one of them away with this proposal, and it’s the one that inevitably leads to many more of them being ripped away. We already have socioeconomic classes that influence people’s lives. We do not need to add a new layer wherein your rights as a citizen are...

Because anyone includes the poor and dumb people. They’re still humans with rights.

One other note: do we just not think taxes drive up prices any more? We might basically all be net tax payers once you consider their impact on the cost of goods and services that we purchase. Could one submit their receipts at the end of the year with a detailed fiscal analysis of the corporate...

It’s fine, we only let foreigners and minorities in there anyway. This should really be the Trade School Republicans.

Yeah, that’s what Braves message boards are for.

Sure, there’s bad outcomes on both sides, but I’d absolutely argue that restricting voting rights to only the net tax payers would have the direct effect of drastically limiting upward mobility out of the non-tax payer class.

It tickles my funny bone when every 6 months or so they find one instance of voter fraud and claim it supports their claims of a vast conspiracy. The last one tricked his way into being a superintendent in a red state and is apparently basically a Bond villain, and I’m supposed to believe he’s...

Sure, the left is wrong to explicitly paint voter ID as a race issue. It *is* true that a disproportionate number of people adversely affected by such laws are going to be non-white, but it’s a class/location issue, not a race one. It is much, much easier for me, with my own car, relatively free...

This is just sort of how you get the Proles from 1984.

Then I’m essentially agreeing with you. But for the reasons Cajun stated, I’d think if you do a voter ID law for federal elections, you need to federalize it and throw actual resources at it to stop states from fuckery.

No? You just make it a law that people get one of these fucking things and take their picture like you would with any other form of ID. You just don’t charge them for the service.

Seems it would have been easier for Vance to just say it was bad and that they should throw those dweebs out of the club. That’s what I think Dems in VA should do after I read more of Jones’ texts. It shouldn’t be hard. Just say, “wow, this guy sucks.”

I still think the answer is a federal ID that is free of charge and sent for all citizens. It could operate as a passport/Real ID as well.

This is so grim.

Are we just like openly trying to buy a foreign election? Don’t we have the CIA for that task?

There’s going to be some pretty interesting overlap between the people claiming the left is promoting violence and defending these idiots that are presumably future leaders in the Republican Party.

Someone hook me up with the President of Antifa, I guess it’s time for me to become a terrorist.

Property theft and damage casts too wide a net. In the case of the person robbing houses or doing their theft in a violent way, I’d say by the third conviction it’d have to be a minimum sentence of something to the tune of 5-10 years? And double or triple the sentence with each progressive...
