    I just know she has been shadow banned by the shadow cabal. Maybe the shadow cabal will block a Democrat you like in the future. They are in control. They pick who is elected. Your vote is meaningless.

    You mean the elites don't like her. The only reason that she did so crappy was because her own party lied about her. Calling her a Russian asset, among other things.

    The shadow cabal worked to deplatform and ban her. Same with Andrew yang. Democrats don't care because they think they won.

    Neutral sources called out the fact that she was being pushed forward by Russian backed sources....

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/20...20-democratic-candidate-tulsi-gabbard-n964261

    May or may not have been her fault, but somebody being supported like that is a potential Russian asset, like it or not...

    And I'm SURE all the Gabbard supporters on here were just thrilled with her policy stances as well

    Joe was correctly determined to be the best person to begin to stamp out Trumpism, although I'm pretty convinced any of the final four would have won, although perhaps not as easily....

    And he's doing a solid job to boot...

    You'll note that they didn't name a single "neutral expert" in the entire article. Nor did they link or even name of the articles from Russia that supposedly supported her.

    And fyi, I supported her. Loved her stance on getting out of wars. Yeah, I didn't like some of her policies. But she was still way better than any other of the Dem candidates and I would have voted for her over Trump. You can check my posting history on that if you like.

    They gave you 3 websites, a search name, and a timeframe. If they are BS'ing about their conclusions, that would be super easy to fact check.....

    FDR also didn't name all the Japanese pilots involved in Pearl Harbor when he declared war....

    I believe you on Tulsi, but I disagree on her qualifications. She was a non-factor to me well before any Russia support came up, but of course, I would have voted for her were she the eventual nominee, even if it turned out she was Putin's niece....

    It doesn't
    Can they for once try to pass something that isn't super shady and selfish? maybe if they did this once in awhile the right would be more open to passing some of their garbage bills if a few GOOD ones were in the mix
    SAD

    Compared to the Tax Scam bill of 2017, this is the ****ing Bill of Rights and Magna Carta rolled into one...

    This is a good bill supported by a majority of people who still identify as Republican (??) - 57%....

    https://www.newsweek.com/gop-oppose...ublicans-support-election-reform-bill-1572166

    You can certainly oppose it as an effort to federalize election laws (much need and long overdue), but most of the individual pieces are bulletproof...

    The freedom-hating right is just coming up with pretextual contentions for justifying their bigotry and ignorance in supporting voter suppression tactics. In this country, most citizens don't even bother to vote, let alone try to vote illegally.

    Same day voter registration is a a hard pass for me. If you can't figure out that you might need to vote 4 years from now, 2 years from now, or 2 months from now, then you don't deserve to vote.
    I'm Ok making voting day a national holiday. We can exchange it for MLK day which is too close to Christmas/New Years anyway.
    The need to just get rid of PAC money altogether.
    DC shouldn't be a state.

    I see lot's of bad stuff in this bill

    Not satisfied stealing this past election ? Is one party rule your goal ? Politics is not about fairness but about power. Power is about achieving it at any cost. Any cost is to lie, beg or steal. To steal is too not require people to show I.D. and let them vote from their home where they cannot be verified as the person who actually voted.

    I agree. The idea that we shouldn't validate the vote is dangerous. We dont have to validate each vote and tie it back to the person who voted, but we do have to have SOME way to validate who votes

    Automatic registration is OK. If we validate the vote, then it is fine to have people automatically registered.

    We have to do something here. The ability for states to purge voter roles for any reason their current legislature sees fit is a bad idea. We have example after example of states run by one party doing everything they can to stop the other party from voting. Their needs to be some state of checks and balances to check these state legislatures and leaders from what they do today


    Allowing politicians to pick their voters is IMHO, the biggest threat to democracy we have seen since this grand experiment started. The Koch brothers made this their top priority 20 years ago, and we are just now seeing the fruition of redistricting. The Koch Brothers have successfully flipped to 61 - 37 house chambers in that time. They learned that if you gerrymander, you dont need to donate, because you literally allowing the politicians pick their own voters.



    Never understood this one. What is it about being a felon that takes away your constitutional rights ? The NRA supports giving them them their guns rights back, but we all know that because the NRA supports your right to BUY a gun.


    This is probably the biggest problem in politics today. We cannot as a country succeed when the only people who's voice matters, are those who can afford to donate the massive amounts of money it takes to get elected. To think that anyone other than those who donate those massive sums has any say in the policies that candidate supports is beyond ridiculous. We need only look at the republican tax bill 2 years ago. The working class got temporary tax cuts, so that the top 1%(the big donors) would get 83% of the cuts in the bill in the next 20 years.[/QUOTE]

    Of course DC (the places where people live, not the federal areas) should be a state, if MD or VA won't merge with them, which there is no incentive for them to do...

    Nothing bad in this bill. If you meet the requirements to vote (not in prison, proper age, citizen etc), you should be allowed to register whenever you want.

    And you really don't want to open the can of who doesn't "deserve" to vote.... Trust me...

    Are you writing about members of the freedom-hating right? Too damn lazy or too damn ignorant they shouldn't be allowed to vote.

    I'm sure we agree on 98% of the bill, and there is nothing in the Constitution about current felons not being allowed to vote, but I'm actually fine with that additional "punishment". Although as this bill will attempt to do, your voting rights are automatically restored upon release/sentence served.

    With none of that Florida nonsense about paying fines as a requirement. I'm all for collecting money due the state as well, but not as a pre-req for getting your vote back.

    How do you know that people meet the requirements to vote if you haven't had time to look? Unless you are also OK with using an ID to verify that they are allowed to vote. I would also like to see a stipulation that all mail in ballots must be received by the end of voting day.
