They’ll go after each demographic whose voting habits favour democrats: Immigrants, women, educated, non-christian, poor, lbgtq+, young, non-white. Whichever ones you belong to, makes you a potential target of voter disenfranchisement.

As a non white lol why can’t I vote? I’m a legal citizen I will have no issue. I would like to know what rights the whites have over me?
Show threadSerinusFeb 25

Rights? Have you been paying attention?

They’re blatantly and regularly violating the first, second, fourth, and fifth amendments whenever they feel like it.

They’re absolutely going to have ICE around harassing anyone they think might vote blue, particularly people of color.

You aren’t wealthy enough to have rights.
Show threadtino_408Feb 26
What rights do people wealthier than me have?
Show threadBarneyPiccoloFeb 26

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, to start with.

Grow up.

Lol so your answer is a catch phrase. Cause I notice the harm of using my people as a political football. This is why the part system is fucking stupid. Your fans just trying to help your team not the actual people

It’s NOT a “catch phrase,” it’s literally the opening of the Declaration of Independence, in which it is declared that our nation is founded on the concept that we have been endowed by GOD to have the INALIENABLE rights to Life, Liberty, and the a pursuit of Happiness.

Its not a catch phrase, it’s literally the foundation of American Democracy.

You have proven your ignorance for all to see. Stop talking now.

It’s feels weird Dems assuming I have less rights than them based on my ethnicity. What’s worse is I feel like Dems are trying to come from a good place with a good heart. But it’s starting to scare me that a group of people are ok with Latinos becoming second class citizens. As an illegal immigrant you can’t join a union or big company to get a good job. It’s causing illegal immigrants to have no choice but to take this jobs to survive.

You don’t know if you won’t have issues or not. Their whole goal is to create issues.

Live in a black area of a county in GA? Close down the polling station.

Look Hispanic near a polling station? Maybe ICE tackles you and arrests you for no reason.

Woman and your name doesn’t match? No vote.

It’s really not hard to understand what they’re trying to do. Whites don’t have more rights than you on paper. They would love to change that, and they start by bending and then breaking the law.

Never had an issue voting lol

This is what is referred to as anecdotal evidence. Go read up on voter suppression and gerrymandering.

If convicted felons can be president, they should be allowed to vote too.
Show threadFlames5123Feb 25
Depends on the immigrants, sadly.

Death by a thousand cuts. Each issue by itself might evoke a shrug, but put it all together, a very clear picture emerges.

BTW (and I’m sure you know) this has been going on for waaaay longer than MAGA. Arguably since the USA’s independence. Every conservative president seems to have added a little bit. The system is completely eroded.
