    Again, the Georgia law is not stricter than very many States'. Why are the Democrats so pissed at Georgia and not other States? Hm...

    Delta, Coca Cola CEOs blast Georgia's 'unacceptable' voting law

    and then, a few days later

    Delta spent the pandemic earning goodwill from passengers and workers. It might be about to vanish.

    Hm... I wonder how's Delta's shareholders will look at such CEO business decission? :)

    Good question and I can't answer it any better than you can but perhaps what politicians say and what they actually think aren't the same. Pretty common in politics, no?

    The obvious one to me was to make it harder to cheat in elections. How did you miss that? It is what they said. But as I said, perhaps what they say and what they think aren't the same thing. Quite a conundrum huh? The one thing I can say with certainly is that politics is humanity at its worst.

    Because you divide the races continually in your mind....you see how it is easy for disingenuous lawmakers to single out race in your mind and target them. Sorry Sirius, it is not that way. You have just been trained to think that way. It is the mass training (CRT) of the educational system and the complicit media, that has brainwashed so many to think that way. Divide and victimize. There are growing number of minority individuals that no longer see themselves that way. They see themselves as competent and competitive in what was once a "white mans continent". White folks like myself respect that and see them every bit as equals. Candace Owens and many other people of color would set you straight that the government plantation will come to an end.

    Probably they should explain how it improves elections....that is the jist of my statement and so far no one has been either willing or able to do so. I am willing to listen to logical explanations, but see none coming.

    How does handing out water to those in long lines help stop cheating?

    They did. Your media simply didn't cover it.

    It doesn't. It helps reduce campaigning at the polling place. If the water doesn't have a partisan label, the election crew will gladly distribute it for you.

    If Biden is in favor of the Georgia boycott out of principle, not partisanship, where is here on boycotting the Beijing Olympics?

    Leninism is seen as "progress" by you people and the people of Russia in the early 20th century; and, well, let's just say that that did not turn out well for them.

    That, actually is the easiest of them all. From the law:

    No person shall solicit votes in any manner or by any means or method, nor shall any person distribute or display any campaign material, nor shall any person give, offer to give, or participate in the giving of any money or gifts, including, but not limited to, food and drink, to an elector, nor shall any person solicit signatures for any petition, nor shall any person, other than election officials discharging their duties, establish or set up any tables or booths on any day in which ballots are being cast: (1) Within 150 feet of the outer edge of any building within which a polling place is1818established; (2) Within any polling place; or (3) Within 25 feet of any voter standing in line to vote at any polling place. These restrictions shall not apply to conduct occurring in private offices or areas which cannot be seen or heard by such electors."

    In short, do not put your campaign material on the bottle.

    If you permit the bottles, you will need people to check all the bottles before they’re handed over.

    Yes, yes, I forgot, it would be anti-Asian discrimination to boycott the Beijing Olympics, but it would not be anti-Asian discrimination to effectively prevent a working-class Asian-American from going to an Ivy League school, because, well, "progress." The left's twisted logic when it comes to the scope of racism is laughable.

    If you find yourself bitching because you can no longer ride over the peasants in their fields while riding to the hounds you might be a reactionary. Lenin didn't do any more to his people with "it was necessary" than Napoleon did with his "whiff of grapeshot". Russia had to deal with a flat-out invasion by the Entente nations after they tried to opt-out of WWI and then was taken over by Stalin, the only figure in WWII who was more ruthless than Hitler. If Lenin's New Economic Plan had not been strangled a-borning by those two forces Russia was well on its way to becoming the modern Norway of the early XXth century

    So in case you do not understand business, here is the deal. Only make moral stands when it fits the bottom line. This is why looking to corporate anything for moral guidance is a joke. If selling **** to Mao is profitable, sell **** to Mao. If selling **** to China in the late 90s makes sense, sell **** to China. If selling **** to Hitler in the 30s makes a profit, sell **** to Hitler. Anyone still looking for corporate guidance on morality and policy guidance?

    It's just ugly. All this virtue signalling posers, incredibly wealthy, privileged and blessed, so self-righteously condemning America with false charges of racism, yet it's them who are in league with Slavers, who are in operation today, putting slave produced products on US markets, not 200 years ago, but today.

    NBA is just a vile.

    If we had honest media as opposed to state controlled entertainment media the citizens of Georgia would know that and they would be furious as to do what the Abrams/Biden coalition just cost them over nothing.

    The real reason is that they wanted to move from a diverse city/state to a much whiter city/state. White privilege in action. Taking jobs from black folks... a liberal tradition.

    If that were the case they would have never had the events scheduled in Georgia to begin with, and would have avoided all cancelation fees outright

    MLB is not a party. Nor associated with any party.
    They likely listened to their pocket book.
