If NYC were a socialist country in Latin America, we would have already couped the government and installed Nazis in its place after an election like this.

its wild reading early twentieth century literature and seeing references to kimonos just pop out completely at random because they were a popular alternative to nightgowns literally just such and such opened the door to see such and such wearing a kimono with no comment being made suggesting that this is anything unusual or surprising

Surely now the Democrats will stop trying to fight this embarrassing public spectacle and will instead actually put effort into helping the demographics negatively impacted by these policies resolving the root cause of these issues

Surely now there will be willpower for reforming and modernizing the process of receiving and updating an identification card

Surely now there will be willpower for reforms that improve access to polling places in a meaningful way

this was never the right way to look at this argument, it's not how they're looking at this argument

even in lovely states there's a variety of alternative forms of identification you can apply for in advance and use at the polls, and the actual human being voters who want these policies are currently having a national paranoid meltdown over fake voters stealing the election, and maybe we could have avoided this whole thing if we'd spent all the time and money fighting ID requirements, on instead locating the handful of people who don't have an ID and doing what it takes to get them one

asking people verify who they say they are before they cast a vote isn't unreasonable if everyone has equal access to identification. why weren't we arguing for that? If people of color are so wildly and disproportionately negatively impacted by access to identification, isn't every moment they spend without identification a failure of Democratic policy?

Very cool that black voters will have great ID's when they try to go to vote on sunday and the polling place is closed or when they are standing on line for 7 hours waiting to vote or when they show up to vote and they are purged from the rolls.

These are edge case problems that are only a problem in the first place because we don't guarantee paid time off to vote on a national level

Getting purged from the rolls is pretty loving hard and if people could get ID and update ID easier it would virtually never happen

These are issues that impact people of color disproportionately but they're caused by visible and addressable systemic issues that are within the sphere of influence of the federal government. If the Dems want to pass a law making election day a national holiday and force employers to offer time to vote, they have the ability to put that kind of law into place, but they need to write that law and champion that law and they aren't and they won't because it's not going to keep a national conversation going that pumps up donors for the next five years.

Democrats don't solve problems. I have never seen them do it once in my life. This is how they fix things. Reforms have time limits. Handouts have means testing. Everything has strings attached. The whole point isn't to fix america or push a progressive agenda, it's to keep the endless stream of money flowing into the pockets of the people running the party, and when progressive politics happen, they happen by accident. Marijuana Reform happened on a wave of ballot initiatives. Gay Rights was decided by the supreme court. The Democrats don't want to make people's access to voting better, or they would have done it, or tried to do it, instead of making a big loving deal over a state saying "hey you gotta have like an id or a social secruity card or your voter id card or like your student ID with like a bill from your current address..."

quote:

“We have no plan to arrest them,” commissioner Musa Bin Ismail told Vice in 2012. “They will be haunted all their lives by the fact that they're war criminals who have murdered countless people and affected countless lives through their acts and policy while in office. Their lives will be unsettling, full of regret and the feeling of guilt, punctuated with long stretches of sorrow and unabated sadness. They will die with disgruntled souls.”

Rumsfeld was named “sexiest cabinet member” by People magazine in 2002, UPI reported.
