As a start twenty-nine in the military proves I’m not selfish or unwilling to make sacrifices. I’ve been to too many funerals of dead military members to put up with that trash talk,

you might better understand my previous quote as, “I’d rather risk the possibility of 500,000 additional deaths without the lockdowns than the certainty of lockdowns and a future government power grab”.

Good For You, interpret that as you please

First of thank you for your service.. Second I agree with you on the freedom and education side of your argument. The lockdowns we did in the U.S. did nothing but destroy our economy. If we had real lockdowns/shutdowns we could have prevented this early on but we didn’t. The U.K. did serious lockdowns this last wave and along with 30 million Brits getting vaccinated have knocked their numbers down to virtually nothing. We have too many lobbyists to ever have had real lockdowns in the US. We are making great head way on getting the country vaccinated hopefully the antivax crowd dosent derail us..

LOL. Just LOL.

Should we just ignore the 250 bills introduced by state legislatures that are designed to limit voting access? How many times in the last 40 years has a Republican won the popular vote?

In the interest of extending an olive branch...

Would you support one week of early voting, in person, in every state. With employers required to provide one paid day off during that span for employees to vote?

Yes, on the voting, ID required, not certain about the pay. Those bills are to ensure the legitimacy of the vote, mailing out ballots to anyone, not producing ID, not recording change of addresses, not recording on voting rolls deaths, there’s a hundred holes in the system.

And is limiting polling places and hours and making it illegal to provide water to registered voters standing in line also just to protect fair elections? And exactly how much fraud was discovered during all of the frivolous lawsuits that “The Kraken” who made them now says no reasonable person would have taken seriously? And how did “stop the steal” go?

The most egregious change in this election law is giving the GA state legislature, a partisan political body, the means to overrule officials and throw votes out.

It's so blatant and un-American that they copied the play straight from a Banana Republic.

Heh. Who would have thought the GOP would sell out democracy so easily? Rather than have a popular platform, you've got to rig the system to have a prayer of winning going forward.

I wouldn't get too comfortable with all this voter suppression. Georgia lit a fire under Congress's ass to pass HR1.

WILL they provide water though? If not the “fake news” is actual Georgian law now and it would prevent you from giving water to an elderly voter waiting in line in the atlanta heat.

Also how are you still allowed to post consider you ban evaded?
Saving this for when the John Lewis Voting Rights Act passes.

Also lay off the Q. It's melting your brain.

You realize the popular vote has nothing to do with electing presidents don’t you?
