Tinsley always keeps punching himself in the dick. First it was that Ilhan Omar cartoon that got him "a long vacation" to the point that Fishman took over. Now when he occasionally does his own strips he's so vile that he keeps getting himself canceled. Edit: wow Tinsley is a dense motherfucker quote:"I've thought a million times [whether he'd be a victim of 'cancel culture'], 'This is it, I don't even know if I'm going to turn this in'," he said. "But of all the cartoons — it vaguely centers on Biden's doing that as his first executive order. There certainly was nothing derogatory about transgender people. It was just about what I see as a really unfair environment in sports." seiferguy fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Mar 18, 2021 |

I was surprised to learn that to vote in France you need a Voter ID, but then again, it seems that they're very easy to get (it's just your national identification card), and voting by and large in France is shockingly easy. If the ID cards were easy to get why not? It's clear that's not the plan though.

It's the same in Sweden. You need an ID to vote but getting an ID is cheap and easy. And if you're poor its free and they will constantly nudge you to get one.

Yeah, the concept of needing an ID isn't the issue. The "no DMVs in black counties" is the issue.

It's likely based on a 2016 Gallup poll in which 80% of Americans were in favour of presenting photo identification upon voting. They also supported automatic registration for all citizens. This is not the same as a National Voter ID, which as I understand would require specifically a voter ID, not just any piece of government issued photo ID to prove you are the person on the list at the polling booth.

It took me a long time to understand American jokes about the DMV. The longest I have ever had to wait in any government office for any reason was the last time I had to renew my driver's license and it was maybe half an hour, because I showed up and it was really busy that day, but I didn't have any pressing appointments when I showed up at 11am so I just waited.

Similar margins for early voting and automatic registration too though. I may support it if the ID was free and easy to get, and an effort was made to get one to everyone eligible. Edit: Kinda beaten, but one big issue with getting IDs is we don't have a national ID so there are different rules and regulations between states and if you are an adult without a car you may basically never need one so might not get one (especially if you are poor, disabled, elderly, or in a place that does not have a handy DMV).

Conservatives got usually pretty adept at making voting restrictions sound like common sense solutions (why WOULDN'T you have to show ID when you vote?) but 2020 basically put an end to that. "We don't think The Blacks should vote because they robbed us of our precious Trump."

Yeah I guess that number is pretty believable. Your average person hears "needing an ID to vote" and it sounds simple/innocent enough. But I guess that's the danger of what people refer to as common sense politics.

That's the typical right wing sleight of hand on these things. They go "oh we're not banning voting, you just need to get a proper ID," then if you look at the fine print, you find out that to get your ID, you need to go to your county's registration office that's 45 minutes away, only open from 12:45 PM to 2:30 PM every third Wednesday except on months with a full moon, and hope that the one worker they have available that day is the one who knows how to work the TRS-80 they've rigged up with a 28.8k baud modem to get you sorted.

 Pope:  ASIO boss says spy agency will dump terms 'rightwing extremism' and 'Islamic extremism' (Guardian). Previously when ASIO brought up the rise in threat of far right extremism in Australia Dutton refused to bring it up unless he also slammed "far left" extremism in the same sentence, despite ASIO saying that leftwing extremism is "not currently prominent in Australia". Rowe:  The current big piece of legislation in parliament is the government's omnibus Industrial Relations bill covering casual employment. Because of how Australia elects the senate it is very rare there is a majority, so if a policy is not bipartisan with the major parties then the government needs to find senators on the crossbench, a bunch of minor parties from all over the political spectrum. The IR minister is away on defending-against-historical-rape-allegation leave and to get something passable the government has stripped out nearly everything, so what was an omnibus reform bill is now a tiny poo poo sandwich. Rowe's paper The Australian Financial Review (behind paywall) is scathing: "IR debacle is a lesson in how to waste a crisis". Wilcox:  The goverment was boasting of better than expected employment figures yesterday, but this is all before their JobKeeper subsidies run out which is expected to make things significantly worse. Leak, Son of Leak:  The EU is blocking vaccine exports to other countries such as Australia.

The problem with Voter ID laws has always been that we don't have a national ID that's distributed to everyone, so the question is immediately "what IDs count?" I'd have literally 0 issue with Voter ID laws if everyone was given an ID that they could easily get and replace. But we don't have that, so voter ID laws are always a way to disenfranchise certain populations because they don't have certain types of ID.

Requirements to vote in the US have been a major issue for basically the last 150 years since starting in the mid 1860s you had substantial populations able to vote but who were, for some reason, often lacking the documentation or paperwork or even just the loaded down family bible full of genealogical records (which were and afaik often still are considered valid documentation for various official and legal purposes). This persisted as a consideration through pretty much the entire share cropping era and was compounded by all the jim crow bullshit that was trying to delegitimize black families and/or their official existence. Hell, even in the 70s and 80s it was still regularly a thing where it was hard or even impossible to track down documentation of old-timers. tldr, vital records have been an instrument of white supremacy in the us basically since day one https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2018/09/11/birth-certificates-have-always-been-weapon-white-supremacists/

Yeah this is the other major problem even if ID's were free. You can only get them from certain places, which often have absolutely absurd and inconvenient hours. My local DMV actually has fairly normal hours*, 8am-5pm but it's not open on the weekends or holidays because it's a government office. So... when do you go to the DMV? If you're poor then it's entirely possible that you can't get afford to take time off (because you probably don't get paid time off) to go sit at the DMV for 3 hours in the middle of your workday in order to get an ID, which if you don't drive, you don't normally need. Even if you don't have a job, what if you have kids? Do you have someone to watch them while you go to the DMV? Or are you going to bring them with you for a completely unknown amount of time? And if it's your first time getting an ID, you'll also need to have documentation that you may not have on hand and also have to pay for copies of (birth certificate, etc). *Subject to change on any random rear end day because they loving feel like it, I guess.

Most of the US that isn't in huge metro cores is set up so that you basically either live on busses for hours a day or you drive. The contrast is especially bleak for Europeans where, from the countries i lived in or have spent time in, on average you'd have a comparable amount of public transport in 1-200,000 person cities as you'd have in a 2,000,000 person city in the US. Sometimes considerably more. The US has a lot of cities over a million people where the entirety of public transit is a questionably funded and obsoletely laid out bus system.

Just a reminder on ID chat is that this may finally be the year the final stage of REAL ID goes into effect in October: requiring a REAL ID on all domestic flights. So if you can't bring it an embossed birth certificate, valid government photo id, and at least two separate pieces of mail from a bank or utility or voter card to an open DMV, oops no more flights for you! And bank and utilities, for some reason, have gotten increasingly insistent in recent years that their customers go paperless for billing. Weird!
