Sifill_LDF ItsBeenAMin LISTEN TO HER her name is Dr Martha Jones

GilmoreGlenda ItsBeenAMin “Can feel like obstacles” good example of why I can no longer listen to NPR without flying into a blind rage

GilmoreGlenda ItsBeenAMin I remember when NPR wasn't Koch brother's trash soft framing right wing extremism

ItsBeenAMin Wow. You are insane.

ItsBeenAMin Getting time off work? Ridiculous. Request an absentee ballot. Or, go to the polls early, or go late. Or vote in “early voting.” I have NEVER, even when working 12 hour shifts, had any trouble voting. Because I made it a PRIORITY.

ItsBeenAMin You've got to be kidding me. It's called, as an entire generation of whiners refers to it as, 'adulting.' Grow up. It's not hard. None of this is difficult, unless you're congenitally lazy.

ItsBeenAMin Democrats who illegally spied on presidential candidate Donald Trump really have no room to speak as far as the electoral process goes they have already proven that they are the real Russians and the Deep state

ItsBeenAMin Yah US was never serious about becoming a democracy or about self governance or about rule of law. It was only ever interested in preserving white power

ItsBeenAMin What a load of crap. My suspicion is that 'historian' Martha S. Jones is one of those people who refuses to recognize the existence of voter fraud.

ItsBeenAMin If you can’t solve the obstacles, YOU DON’T DESERVE TO VOTE!

ItsBeenAMin The war on drugs has been dressed up as neutral, also. Double whammy for the black community.

ItsBeenAMin Voting is easy in Colorado. If you're foolish enough to vote in person, you need an i.d. Fortunately, once you're registered and show that i.d. once, they mail you your ballot.

ItsBeenAMin Friendly fascism with a smile a wave and an OK sign to fellow white power militias and police

ItsBeenAMin Come people be informed a head of time make it your business it's that serious .

ItsBeenAMin The 'Left' wants to use Covid-19 to close polling stations and force you to vote by mail

ItsBeenAMin There is a lot of dialog about protection of voter rights but the issue that was abandoned is getting people to vote. Everyone knows that this is the real issue. No one has confidence that the voters are engaged but the Democrats have been rigging elections since LBJ.

ItsBeenAMin Felon disenfranchisement is voter suppression. Openly and obviously what it's always been about.

ItsBeenAMin If a government truly cared about democracy, they would want a 100% turnout for elections. It’s pretty clear this is not what the current administration wants, and they’re now taking drastic steps to restrict voting as much as they can

ItsBeenAMin There's no such thing as voter suppression. It's a catch phrase like systemic racism.

ItsBeenAMin LET US THINK ABOUT IT WHEN DOUBLE DEFICIT DONALD TRUMP IS HERE MORE PEOPLE HATE THE POLICE BECAUSE HE ABUSES HIS POWER WITH THEM. NO ONE TALKED ABOUT DEFUNDING UNTIL NOW. HE IS THE LAW ENFORCEMENT ENEMY. BACK THE BLUE AND VOTE HIM OUT.

ItsBeenAMin Oh I love this. This is the soft bigotry of low expectations because you don’t think people can get an ID to vote but they can certainly get an ID for everything else they need one for?
