@Iwillwait I'm guessing the ones who aren't racist or fascist would agree.

@PrincessAwesome I think what happened there was a prime example of Cancel Culture (Poster Child) if you will.. of what that could look like when Corporate America Leverages their clout and literally rip millions of dollars out of an entire economy. This affected all range of sizes of Businesses including Family Owned/Minority Owned.

Pretty sad, honestly.

@Iwillwait So a company taking any kind of stand at all is "Cancel Culture" even if the stand they're taking is against fascism and racism.

@PrincessAwesome Requiring Voter's to produce ID is not racisim, this is a preventative measure to eliminate Voter Fraud. The actual racisim I see is when a political party states this deeply impacts "African Americans," (another racist term in my book) but not Mexican, Italian, Asian etc.. So the Party's Narrative is: Only African Americans seem to be unable to perform what all other races can do, by having an ID? It has been a law Coast to Coast in the U.S.A. that everyone carries Identification at all times. This Narrative is not only insulting to all African Americans, but totally false. The African American term I hate, you're either American or Native American or an Immigrant/Migrant/Illegal Alien<now undocumented immigrant>

So yes, I disagree with the Corporate leveraging for Political reasoning, and it actually cannibalizes the very economy that is trying to get up off it's knees from a horrible pandemic.

@Iwillwait I'm pretty sure you're a racist arguing in bad faith, but I'll address some of this.

"Requiring Voter's to produce ID is not racisim, this is a preventative measure to eliminate Voter Fraud."

The amount of voter fraud that actually happens in America is less than one percent. This is just an excuse to require voter ID laws. And the reason it's racist is because state governments purposely make it harder for black people to get an ID.

"So the Party's Narrative is: Only African Americans seem to be unable to perform what all other races can do, by having an ID?"
"This Narrative is not only insulting to all African Americans, but totally false."

No, the narrative is that black people are prevented from having an ID, which has been proven. People like you are using the "I know you are, but what am I?" defense when you're called out on your racism. No, I'm not racist because I think black people are mentally incapable of getting an ID. You're racist for supporting measures to stop blacks from voting.

Conservatives have always used this tactic. They used it when people wanted to free the slaves, when people wanted to end the Jim Crow laws, now it's when black people want to vote.

@PrincessAwesome I am not arguing in a point of being racist or of supporting racisism.

I am clearly stating that it seems clear that there's a narrative, which I have seen stated by Commentators who are of minority origins where the statements were stated, "It was insulting to "Them, the commentators," and their entire race, that a faction is singleing out a particular/specific race as to what would be touted as "Racist Act," via requirements of needing a form of ID to vote. (The voter requirement of producing an identification to cast a vote, does just seem logical) given the newly shaped landscape of people questioning results of elections.

I am not excited seeing a our country divided by suspicion, and if this simple step is required to vote I think it's a good thing. I would be so bold to assume that every single person in America is grateful for ID requirements for just simply withdrawing monies from your account at the bank. (Is that too a racist act) No! It's a layer of protection from fraud.

Requiring and ID to vote is just another measure to help reduce Voter Fraud, that's it.

The Narrative of this being a "Black/African American," issue and no other race, is in it's own way racist.

What is the message being sent to the entire minority community is: "We The Democratic Party, are the only party in favour for your rights."

This is just simply not true.
PrincessAwesome · 22-25, F
@Iwillwait Well I know you're not arguing that, because that would be bad optics. But I think you are racist or, at the very least, you're willing to use racism to help rig elections.

The only people promoting that narrative are fascists that want to rig elections for the Republicans. And yes, black people can be fascist too. Black people can use racism against other black people to keep fascists in power.

I would be fine with voter ID laws if they were done in good faith, but they're not. Every law Republicans have proposed to combat "voter fraud" has really just been a way to keep black people from voting. I gave you a link that proves it, but I know you don't care about evidence or reality, which is why you ignored it.

Well considering that the Republicans are trying to restrict the rights of black people, the Democrats wouldn't be wrong in saying they're the only major party in America that cares about black people. The same can be said for white people who aren't rich.

@PrincessAwesome then you and I agree, that Voter ID to reduce Voter Fraud is a good thing. That's my only point.
PrincessAwesome · 22-25, F
@Iwillwait But you know it isn't being used to reduce voter fraud, which barely exists anyway. You want it to stop black people from voting, which is the real result of these laws.
@PrincessAwesome poor whites are black too

so I get it. you have to have been there
PrincessAwesome · 22-25, F
@Elevatorpitches

Poor whites are black too?
If you mean that these anti-democracy laws that target blacks are also stopping a lot of poor whites from voting, I agree.
@Iwillwait[quote] Requiring and ID to vote is just another measure to help reduce Voter Fraud, that's it. [/quote]

it's a waste of taxpayer money, the people defending it should be demonized by our society , we should be running ads attacking adn criticizing them as people for daring to abuse their first amendment rights to actually apologeticallly defenda a WASTE of our tax dollars. People like you and your argument are a drain on the system that doesn't want to own that it is a drain on the system. you're a parasite.

What Voter fraud? It's a solution in search of a non existennt problem. I don't care if you ARE racist or not, you're still defending wasting tax dollars printing all those stupid ids. which makes you a parasite, whether you are a racist or not. even if it there is a tiny bit of fraud it isn't worth the amount of money it would take to actually enforce this stupid fucking brainlet chud law.

if america can afford this stupid fucking law I don't want to hear another fucking peep about how we cannot afford free college. because you can.

restrictive “voter identification” laws pushed by Republicans, and widely regarded to be ineffective and discriminatory, have cost taxpayers at least $36m in just a few states, the Guardian can reveal.https://www.mcall.com/opinion/mc-xpm-2011-06-10-mc-bill-white-voter-id-20110610-story.html Voter ID law: A way to waste $11 million

@BetweenKittensandRiots they needn't print a specified Id, you just need to provide your ID or driver's license (which is the law to carry at all times anyways) the argument that this was systemically racist was based on people allegedly couldn't afford to drive the DMV to get their proper state ID or driver's license. Ironically you need either/or for banking, is that racist?
