Not everyone needs to go to a government building.

Not everyone needs to go to a doctor.

Not everyone ships out packages.

Not everyone uses libraries, or trains, or hotels, or gets stopped by police, or buys lottery tickets, or smokes weed, or drives, or uses a check cashing store, or uses western union, or buys baby formula.

We can do this all day bro, I know empathy is a trait neocons struggle with, but please try to understand the wrongs of putting obstacles up against people exercising their constitutional rights. Pretend like it's the second amendment, maybe that will help.


I bet the list of people who don't do at least one of these is the shortest list there is. Especially the first one. The ones who should show ID to vote live at the government buildings signing up for free-bees. I went to the VA office yesterday which just happens to share a common waiting room with the welfare office. The place was jammed. I asked the VA rep if they were all waiting to see him. He laughed.

So those people don't deserve rights because they're a small group and that makes them unimportant?

Once on the ground , 3 other LEO surrounded them , prepared to defend the officer making the arrest and to prevent other protesters from freeing the suspect .
You're going to defend big government and it's police action against dissidence and the status quo no matter what I say, good day sir.

Once had an old gentleman pick up his package at the CC .
The CC is in an Armenian neighborhood .
This gentleman only had an ID card from when he was a citizen in Armenia decades ago.
He brought along one of his grandkids to translate , who did have a valid ID .

Get an ID--its as simple as that---it would make them feel more important.
Easier said then done for a lot of people.
Case and point is Alabama. Passes voter ID laws, then shuts down a bunch of DMV offices in poor communities.

I've had a car since I was a teenager, but I have the ability to empathize with people who will never own a car, or have a license. I don't understand why some people lack this basic ability to empathize with people who have different life experiences than themselves. But I'll leave it to the psychologists to deal with those narcissistic tendencies.

A quote from the article you linked to and probably didn't read.

“It’s usually human error,” Golembiewski said. “I have not seen anyone intentionally try to run an extra ballot. You aren’t going to rig an election three ballots at a time. You’re going to need a far more systematic and thorough approach than a couple of people here and there stuffing three extra ballots.”

This is where anyone with critical thinking skills see the voter fraud argument break down. It's just not plausible to alter an election outcome with in person voter fraud. The voter ID laws are designed to suppress minority votes. Many have been struck down by courts as targeting minorities. They are designed to discourage votes. If you believe republican spin just stop and think, maybe you'll get there.

Maybe its because I've had a job since I was in 4th grade with the exception of a couple of months after I got out of the Army. I'm tired of dead beat blood suckers who wouldn't take a job if you gave it to them. There are whole generations who live off the backs of hard working people who pay taxes and the only thanks the tax payer is given is the opportunity to rebuild all the destruction caused by these bums. I'm tired of stories about women who have 14 kids and men who think making babies is a job. I'm tired of a small percent being held up to pay for all these programs. From my side of the fence you can see just why Trump was elected---people are fed up with the status quo.
