Mail In Election Ballots

Post by Nomomo »

If you are one of those who do not support Mail in Election Ballots with pre-paid postage as an option available to every US citizen who registers to vote and is qualified, thinking that this would be a concern for an amount of fraud that could actually change the outcome of an election, then you are unfortunately are either a misinformed moron, or you are among the asshole contingent of the Republican Party who are actually aware of and know that restricting the vote, and that the fewer people who vote is beneficial for the Republican Party Candidates.

If you actually believed in and supported a real democracy for the US then you would support the "ease of voting" by including the option of Pre-Paid Postage Mail in Ballots for all US Citizens who register to vote and are qualified for all elections, local and national as we enjoy here in the State of Washington.

Republicans don’t want people to vote. They don’t believe in voting. They believe in curating the performance of their own followers supporting them.

It’s interesting to see the split along party lines with this issue, with the attendant insinuation that massive amounts of ‘cheating’ will somehow occur from it, and be committed only by folks voting for Democratic Party candidates.

I’d think that both Utah and Oregon are good examples of how that claim doesn’t add up.

Republicans only want Republicans to vote because they don't have any popular policies.

When your entire party platform is whining, projection, hypocrisy and victimhood, of course you won't win over the majority.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

Wasn't their recent platform, "Yeah, whatever Trump says"?

I don't know what disturbs me the most --- the number of Republicans who are seemingly oblivious to the fact that this constitutes virtually the entire platform of current Republican leadership, or the number of Republicans who apparently see nothing wrong with that.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Life in a cult. Whatever the leader says is right. Trumpism, LDSism, etc.
