Doc Brown Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I understand them feeling screwed over and unlucky. Packing it isn't the answer though and they don't have the votes anyways. The focus should really should be pressuring Breyer to retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to bring a smile to your face.

Or that an illegitimate votes don't exist? Oh and BTW I lived in the Bay Area for nearly 10 years and you are absolutely correct. Sense of humor is not high on their list.

I just assumed you meant something else like the rest of your friends: Republicans say ignorant people shouldn't vote. I say go for it, starting with your own.

White guilt libs I know were the first people that came to my mind how is that Jim Crow? Why did you assume Blacks were not "quality" votes (knowledgeable). Now that's racist.

If we want to look at low information voters it seems to come more from the right as well. Just look at this thread we had a poster not know who ended the SCOTUS filibuster and another think Trump never broke a campaign promise. Were a small sample but the left posters here seems to not get basic facts wrong like we see our fellow righties for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if you’re in a voting booth and get crossed up on who you want to vote for? Just let all Americans vote. Why would a minority party be afraid of having more people vote?

Just look at this thread we had a poster not know who ended the SCOTUS filibuster and another think Trump never broke a campaign promise. This particular phrasing is often over used. All congressional and presidential candidates make campaign 'promises', but we all know they're actually promises to 'try' to get something done. They are not promises to actually make something happen. With our system of checks and balances it is very hard to promise to make things happen. Especially big things.

Misinformation knows no political stripe. Except there’s one party that lives on it, I would say they thrive on it. Just look at Obamacare. Remember the lies spread by the right about death panels? The past election and lies about how it was stolen? There’s a reason misinformation works and that’s due to a poorly educated electorate. We saw the 2016 and 2020 election where poorly educated people went for Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stop. “Poorly educated” has nothing to do with knowledge of the issues. You’re coming across as some coastal elite. There is plenty enough idiocy to go around.
