Them trying to buy Judges indicates that Judiciary still holds power in the US at least to some extent

      Surely, a leftist used to studying intricate theory and picking apart the layers of capitalist control to see the rot at its center would be able to see why voter ID laws are a problem. I have it under great authority that .ml is filled with such users. Can’t think of any possible reason why they’d be for it. None at all.

      I have this user tagged.

      They got me banned from ml for calling them out because they were saying, “you have to give Trump credit for brokering peace in Gaza” a couple of weeks back.

        The fact that Trump is saying out loud that voter ID laws would “allow them to win all future elections” should give you a clue as to why not.

        Voter ID laws, at face value, are not the problem. The problem is that Republicans have made getting a valid ID damn near difficult in typically blue areas.

        Not only that, there are simply no cases of voter fraud in the US where a voter ID would have stopped said fraud. Voter Fraud, as it happens, is so rare that the only really effective way to commit fraud is by ballot stuffing which, surprise surprise, Republicans have consistently been caught doing.

          I don’t really care what Trump says. Most modern democracies have voter ID laws, that is the sensible thing to do. It is difficult to prove that voter fraud doesn’t happen, are you saying people just haven’t been caught? You shouldn’t be able to vote as someone else just because you know their name and their address.

          Of course, we should also prevent ballot stuffing.

            It’s a solution to a problem which doesn’t exist.

            Implementing Republican voter suppression laws is not sensible.
