Tldr: DNC knows that a lot of voters haven’t shown proof of citizenship.
In 2004, Arizona passed a law requiring voters to provide proof of citizenship to vote
Prop 200, the 2004 Arizona law that started all this trouble, was pushed hard by republicans and in particular promoted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is a nonprofit, anti-immigration organizationThe Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is a nonprofit, anti-immigration organization in the United States. The Southern Poverty Law Center classifies FAIR as a HATE GROUP with ties to WHITE SUPREMACIST groups. FAIR was founded in 1979 by Michigan surgeon and white nationalist John Tanton.[13][14][15] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federation_for_American_Immigration_Reform
So the strange story here is that republicans and white nationalists, in an effort to stop nonwhite people from voting, created this situation in which a large number of white republicans are in fact ineligible to vote, and have been voting illegally for years.
Now that democrats have discovered this issue, white nationalist republicans are trying to blame democrats for the problem that white nationalist republicans created.
Bullshit. The Arizona Supreme Court rules on this that those voters can legally vote. There’s no scandal except for the attempted disenfranchisement of 98,000 Arizona citizens.
How come every post on this sub is so absolutely full of shit?
What a fucking joke
If they weren’t full of shit they wouldn’t be conservatives. Republicans are firmly in the post-truth era.
Dude give it up, conservative values just aren’t popular
Not on Lemmy at least, but I think most people like being able to own a home
Yeah, I’d like to own a home. What the fuck are Republicans going to do to help me with that? They seem entirely disinterested in helping people like me who are priced out of home ownership. They’ll just tell me to stop eating avocado toast or some nonsense about accountability.
At least Democrats are actually acknowledging the housing crisis and trying to come up with a plan to fix things. Hell, think of how many college graduates might finally be able to afford a mortgage if Republicans didn’t block student loan forgiveness at every turn.
Hell, you folks insist that taxation is theft. Forgiving a student loan is just giving some of that money back, right?
But now, when the government takes money, it’s “theft”, and if they give money it’s a “handout”. Nothing is ever good enough. You folks wont’ stop until the government is completely destroyed and we have no public institutions anymore.
You’re anger is valid. You’re missing what the underlying connection to why you can’t afford a home.
It’s not democrats or Republicans. Your boss pays your salary.
My boss doesn’t tax my unrealized gains.
And before you say that only applies to the rich, the income tax only applies to the rich at first. Now everyone pays taxes
You probably don’t even own a Honda civic making “unrealized gains”
I actually do own a house, it’s not exactly some crazy rich thing to have.
Yeah, and how old are you and when did you buy it?
Or better yet, whose money bought it? Daddy’s?
Mid thirties, and I bought it in my mid twenties. And I have a mortgage, so technically the banks money.
