Felony Disenfranchisement: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

PeerTube

The U.S. markets itself as the 'model democracy,' but let’s dissect reality:

1. Political Violence: Assassination attempts (Trump 2024, Reagan 1981), Capitol riots (2021), and 600+ mass shootings in 2023 alone.

2. Billionaire Rule: 90% of elections won by the candidate with more funding (Princeton study). Elon Musk, Koch Bros, and BlackRock dictate policy.

3. Dollar Dictatorship: Sanctions on 30+ countries for rejecting USD (Venezuela, Iran, Afghanistan)—economic warfare masked as 'diplomacy.'

4. Rigged Systems: Electoral College overrides popular vote (Bush 2000, Trump 2016), Super PAC dark money, and felony disenfranchisement (millions blocked from voting).

Meanwhile, China doesn’t pretend to be a democracy—it prioritizes:
- Sovereignty (no sanctions for refusing yuan).
- Development (lifted 800M from poverty).
- Non-interference (unlike U.S. coups in 50+ nations).

Malaysia’s flaws? Gerrymandering, party-hopping. America’s flaws? Guns, oligarchs, and forcing the world into submission. Who’s really unstable?

Tell Congress: End Shameful Felony Disenfranchisement

Every American citizen deserves to be heard in our democracy – and have our voices matter in decisions that affect our family, friends, and community. But right now felony disenfranchisement laws deny 4.6 million Americans this fundamental right. I just signed a Common Cause petition urging Congress to pass the Inclusive Democracy Act and guarantee voting rights to EVERY American citizen – and I hope that you will, too.

Tell Congress: End Shameful Felony Disenfranchisement

Voting is a right – NOT a privilege. Every American citizen deserves to be heard in our democracy – and have our voices matter in decisions that affect our family, friends, and community. But right now felony disenfranchisement laws deny 4.6 million Americans this fundamental right. I just urged my members of Congress to support the Inclusive Democracy Act, which would END felony disenfranchisement. I hope that you'll take action too.

#VotingRights Protections legislation trending. Signed #NMleg aims to restore voting rights to individuals with felony convictions immediately upon release from prison.
