Republicans can't win national elections without suppressing votes.

Not just about national elections. It's also about the 4 senate seats now occupied by Dems.

Good point. You'd think they'd want to focus on making their platform more attractive, rather than stealing elections.

I would look at the bills they write and sign into laws to determine if they are progressives or not. 

Ya I mean.  Take a look at them.

Great retort. Why do they continually put so much effort into making it as difficult as possible to vote? And how do you feel about Arizona lawmakers saying they want to be able to determine who wins their electoral votes regardless of their state's popular vote?

Man the AZ proposals are ballsy as fuck.  Not even trying to seem democratic.  I suppose a “lol” is the only response any rational person could make.  That’s what I’m assuming MT was doing.

They're stopping the steal by stealing the election first.

I watched the video and he wasn't incorrectly referring to Abbott as a dem. He is coked out of his mind though. 

There is no way that guy isn't always coked out. In his rants his jaw is rotating like a generator ready to blow.  No doubt he has a snow storm in his nasal cavity and his grid has been down for sometime.

At least now he allowed me to mark off cancel culture on my Ted Cruz excuse Bingo card.

I think a good understanding of the American electoral system is that from the very beginning the system was designed to fortify the power of monied plutocrats.  It’s literally baked into the constitution.  The idea that 1 citizen should equal 1 vote didn’t really materialize anything resembling fact until the mid 19th century.  Even for white men.  And even after that voting rights changed substantially.  The founders themselves didn’t give a shit about any of that.  Despite what the 5th grade social studies books glorify about them.  Hamilton for example referred to the American masses as “the great beast”  and was explicitly against their participation in politics.  Most of the founders agreed substantially.

It’s alright not weaponize something that’s good imo.  The people who are honest don’t need your help to recognize this.  And the ones that aren’t, it doesn’t matter.  Being persuaded isn’t on the table.
