How white liberals view black voters

Nobody seems to be concerned that filling out tax forms is not especially convenient, or that registering a car can be a hassle, or that it might be easier to go through life without ever filling out an insurance form. You think the one thing in life that should have no obstacles whatsoever is voting?

As an American, I obviously think that buying a gun is the one thing in life that should have no obstacles. It's not like voting is a right of every citizen.[\sarcasm]

To me it makes a lot more sense to ask people to endure the relatively minor inconvenience of obtaining an ID than creating a voting system where we could not possibly know who is voting or how many times they are voting.

Voter impersonation accounts for something like 0.0001% of the vote, at most. If voter ID disenfranchises even one person, it is a worse problem than than voter impersonation.

Voting isn't a right of every citizen. Felons can't vote for example.
 
When I said "hypothetical" it was because I know that it's possible to imagine obstacles, but are real people who want to vote actually being stopped by these obstacles? I think not. Every person faces some sort of obstacle every day. That's a big part of life.

Are you charged to speak? Have a gun? Not to house soldiers in time of war?

Voting IS a right. You are entitled it to, and accommodate everyone, or you disqualify it from being a right.

We can bicker about crocodile tears forever, but that's not going to get either of us any further. Is it, or isn't voting a right?
 
Yes, I've done it myself, while living on a monthly budget that included travel of less than $30.

I had to travel for three hours by bus.

While it was annoying and difficult, I had to do it.

If you have, why in the blue hell would you want others to?

And no. "I had to, so others should, too" is not a good enough reason.
 
That's a pretty ***** argument for whether or not the law in question is a good idea in the first place.

Hey, man, if it's pretty ****** argument to think everyone should obtain an ID and or have one to vote then I can live with that.

Next time you travel out of country, maybe question the officials who require to see an ID and tell them no.

"And no. "I had to, so others should, too" is not a good enough reason."

There's lots of other obvious reasons I'm all about people having IDs. The video was racist af.
 
In no way does respect for the law declaw citizens have the right

So you post a question. I answer said question and posted my experience. I should have asked them why they made me do that and told them how unfair it was.

I don't think it's asking for tol much for someone to get an ID. It might be an inconvenience and harder for some than others, but it's just a big excuse saying it's too hard for some.

Where do you sit on privacy laws?

Maybe you should have. Maybe you're just dumb enough not to.

3:1 odds. Any takers?
 
Which I have a problem with. Once their jail time, and probation depending on the crime, is over they should have full voting rights
Some laws are starting to change in various states to restore voting rights to ex-cons.
