    Make election day a nationalized paid holiday if you really give a shit about Americans heading out to the polls.

    Cool, let’s just normalize women not taking their husband’s name. Less paperwork all around and no voter roll issues. I’m sure that’ll go over great with Republicans as a bonus.

    Perez and Cuellar? No surprises there.

    IIRC Biden and Pelosi personally intervened on Cuellars race when it looked like Cisneros, a progressive, would have a shot.

    There are the Democrats the Party has fought hard to get elected.

    This is why people both sides.

    When it comes down to voting the Democrats will always vote for fascism because they only really represent their rich doners

      Four Dems and it’s “always” for you? You know that “all” isn’t “four”, right?

          You’re the person who wanted to “reach across the isles” in supporting flat world and transphobia on .world, saying you should platform and debate those morons. I don’t think you can say anything about this.

            There are communities and entire instances dedicated to shit like this. The kind that will ban you for disagreeing. That’s what I was looking to prevent.

            My comments aren’t deleted. Their comments aren’t deleted. Nobody is banned just for having that opinion. That’s the difference.

        Why have a party when the party never has control of their animals?

        The Republicans have no issue voting in line

    “Republicans, and apparently some Democrats, are still obsessed with limiting noncitizen voting”

    Why is this a crazy concept?!

      Because you didn’t quote the whole thing.

      Republicans, and apparently some Democrats, are still obsessed with limiting noncitizen voting, which is already illegal and exceedingly rare.

      Murder is far more common than noncitizen voting, but I think we can agree that it would be a ridiculous waste of Congressional time to keep passing bills to make murder illegal.

      You’ve also missed the point of the article, and really the point of the SAVE Act itself.

      But the bill will no doubt make it more difficult for millions of people to vote, particularly some 69 million married women who have taken their spouse’s name and do not have a birth certificate matching their legal name.

      There are not 69 million noncitizens voting in elections. So even if you think we need a new law to crack down on noncitizen voting, the damage it causes far outweighs the problem it solves.
