I still can't even get over the partisan gerrymandering being legal part... What fucking country is this?
"Yeah when one party takes full control they can just choose their voters to make sure they always win. Totally Legal and Cool™©®."
Now this bs. "In order to win your case you just have to be a mindreader. It's simple really."
He keeps arguing that voting laws, in general, whether they be gerrymandering or other laws that objectively and overwhelmingly disenfranchise select peoples, are fine so long as they are not (provably) intentionally discriminatory based on constitutionally protected class, but rather politically motivated/discriminatory. As if political discrimination for a constitutional right, let alone one that decides the ones who set these laws, is any better or more acceptable. At this point, he'd argue that a law requiring you to vote Republican is fine since it's only politically discriminatory. Jesus Fucking Christ.
Great job, fascists.
Okay lefties, get squabbling.
Great job, fascists.
Moderate Republicans have been campaigning against the Voting Rights Act since August 7th, 1965. It's been a primary factor in the Federalist Society domination of the federal courts system, particularly following the election of George Bush Jr.
Abbott v. Perez
Bartlett v. Strickland
Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee
Georgia v. Ashcroft
We've been chipping away at this thing for over 20 years. They're running out of provisions to gut, nevermind a DOJ willing to faithfully prosecute under its provisions.
Okay lefties, get squabbling.
"If you wanted the right to vote, you should have voted harder" is one hell of a take.

why do you refer to fascists as "moderate republicans"?
The US is a country of, by, and for fascists. But the VRA has been a target of Neo-Confederate White Nationalists specifically. Their party is the Republican Party.

Exactly so. They played the long game. Solidifying their voting bloc, using any means necessary to ensure both election victories and select court appointments.

Voting harder isn’t a thing, but the circular firing squad is. When the leftists quadruple down on hating ‘liberals’ and screaming their finely crafted FSB talking points, we will once again miss a window of opportunity to take back some ground. Just like they hated Hillary and that’s how we got Gorsuch, Boof, and Amy Covid to finally give Roberts the death knell he’s sought all along.
Republican squabbling is close to non-existent except for variations in extremes. Being called a genocider by someone who (theoretically) shares 90% of the same political opinions is our lot. And it’s about to crank up again for November.
WILL ‘the left’ / ‘progressives’ / ‘liberals’ / ‘democrats’ be able to support the same thing in November?? Only TIME . . will tell. But the odds are really not great.
Hmmm.. No taxation without representation. So.. What we dumping into a body of water?
Alito and his cronies.
The blood of the fascists
Ok Muricans... tell me again how you "aRE noT TheRe YeT"
