lmao I don't understand half of these and I scored 980 on the TOEIC and 93 on BULATS. I guess Louisiana has higher standards than Cambridge when it comes to skin tone literacy.

lol i love that question 1 is impossible to pass so no matter how well someone completes the rest of the test the person making sure black people don't vote can throw it out after question 1.

his family is only nominally political now - the last one in national politics died when i was little (solidly left dem) and the rest are just podunk office holders, when they're not just doin rich people things outside of politics entirely. my mom's good friends with one that's a somewhat famous photographer there. last time i saw him i told him to join the dsa

you'd think corruption like that would be able to sustain itself better

I had to read it 15 times and it’s really obtuse but I think you have to circle the 1.

Nope, sorry, that's technically not part of the sentence, no vote for you (unless you're white in which case who gave you the test? You obviously look like someone with a sufficient level of education, go on ahead)

No doubt, there's not nearly enough space to draw a 5 circle interlocking Venn diagram. It's like they're trying to make the person taking this to fail, who is it meant for?

no, it says "Draw a line around" if they wanted a circle, it would have specified "circle" as it does in other questions, sorry you don't get to vote


my favorite one though is the very last question which is physically impossible - draw 5 circles that all overlap only once

Tbh I think that while this is true, the GOP is on its last legs wrt rigging elections. They've massively gerrymandered everything on a house by house basis so the white suburbs have a disproportionate say over everything because that's where the chuds are.

If they lose wine moms, what the hell demographic do they have?

re: rigging and gerrymandering - a political system is only a stable as long it is seen as legitimate. the GOP can gerrymander everything forever in their favor, but if they're forced to go to increasingly absurd lengths to do that, they are all going to end up hanging, in the end.

just look at putin, KJU, etc also ghadaffi w/out hillary clinton couping him lol
