We are going to see long lines of single family cars with a voter complying with the law. If we see dogs like in Alabama, MAGA people will get buried.

I was in South Dakota last week. Those people are going to get an attitude adjustment when their Governor gets compare to Palin. South Dakota’s Governor is DUMB.

One side is, you know, actually trying to present and pass legislation to help 80+% of the people in this country, and the other side believes the government is run by a cabal of baby-eating pedophiles. It's not like we're disagreeing on how to spend a 3% tariff increase.

I'd like to think we can come back from this, but I'm not sure if we haven't already fallen off the cliff. What happens if the Dems somehow overcome the voter suppression bills and maintains another slim majority in 2022? Just more of the same? What happens if Biden/Harris somehow win in 2024? Anyone think it will just be 'okay'. If there's another insurrection attempt, my guess it won't be as 'civil' as 1/6. And that terrifies me. These fuckers are bat shit crazy.

I don't think it's unreasonable to make a person show ID, we already do that for countless other things...and i can see how unofficial mobile voting stations could be problematic....but it can't be that hard (and shouldn't be something anyone opposes) to organize official mobile voting units (or whatever safe/trustworthy method is used) to help as many people vote as possible (even though i don't think many/most americans are knowledgeable enough about various topics to really be trusted to make informed voting decisions, myself included).

We definitely need to restore trust in our voting process for both sides. Republicans need to be shown (yes, again) that Dems aren't stealing elections. And Dems need to be shown that Republicans aren't trying to overturn legit elections (which would require the ones who aren't doing that to LOUDLY call out/oppose the few crazies who have done that).

What bothers me most about some of the reasonable Republican people is that they are quick to call out shit from the left (some reasonable, some not), but they're quiet as fuck about the nonsense on the right even if/when they think/know it's ridiculous.

People just had to shoot a video and claim that what they see is malfeasance, ignoring the fact that what they were actually seeing was not what they were claiming and boom, it must be true. Because those people wanted it to be true. You can't convince people that what they want isn't right.
