Selma 1963 was ancient history. Everything's much better now. Well, Jesus. H. Jumped-Up Christ Marching Across The Edmund Pettus Bridge Into Tear Gas, they're at it again. Fine, not in Selma, but in Georgia, where the state is doing what it can to reduce the turnout for the June 20 runoff election for the 6th Congressional District seat formerly held by Secretary of Destroying Healthcare Tom Price. Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff may have been the
I moved to MD and since my area is heavily Dem the primary is basically the important one. I still vote in the general as well, if only to make a futile attempt to defeat a bad incumbent (e.g. Jack Johnson 2008 or Harold Dawson 2016) by writing in one of their challengers from the primary
OT, sorry.Dok, we need a post about what the Democratic party is.Trump and his idiocy does not keep me up at night, this does.What is going to be the state of the party that has to fight his shit?
"Oh, sorry. We were using logic that assumes “letting people vote” is a good thing. Georgia’s logic is clearly predicated on keeping too many people from voting, because what if the wrong kind of people decide they want to vote?"

It's the old NASCAR saying writ large "If you ain't cheating you ain't trying".
Via leaks!
"people in other countries fight and die for the right to vote,"
People used to here too.
But those lazy idiots are ignorant of the history that got them to this point, and they don't read, and they don't remember.
No small blame to Rethuglicans; they've been defunding public education for decades to get us to precisely this point.
:-/
It will eventually, though. The only way it won't is if they're rich white WASP dudes.
But as I said somewhere else - they're too clueless to have either read about it or remembered it. They don't know who Martin Niemoller is.

Don't give those morons any ideas.
Fig Newton also works.
