    Always interesting when people say they had to flee the people overthrowing the US backed dictator. But given the source … she’s probably pro-Contra lol

    Voting is a right. Attending the DNC is not.

    I'll restate my objection. It seems like what’s-his-ass is accusing Democrats of hypocrisy and even implying they’re as racist as those who suppress the votes of marginalized groups by requiring an ID. ID requirements for event security is about protecting attendees—something high profile events may do. Opposing voter ID laws is about preventing barriers that disproportionately impact vulnerable groups from exercising their right to vote.

    Conflating these two situations to accuse Democrats of racism is not only a stretch but could also be seen as a way to justify one's own biases.

    BTW. I think the whole DNC ID bullshit may be satire from the god forsaken Babylon Bee which may show you the media literacy of the asshats that posted it on this board.

    Some discrimination against the elderly is needed. Too little of it leads to problems . . . just look at Congress.

    Is the punchline here: "Based on satire from the Babylon Bee, the Democrats are hypocritical racists"?

    Hmm...I'll look for the humor in it.

    It's a joke. It's a dig. It lands. I guess this is something you'd rather be prickly about. I get it. I have those topics too.

    you keep trying to claim it should be excused primarily because it was just “a joke”. every single person here knows it was an attempt at a joke. Hence the laughing emoji included with the post.

    Excuse it? What do you mean? If you are insinuating excusing racism you’re way way off base. If not, what?

    Goodness, you lot... don't you ever get tired of all the name calling and projection towards each other?
    You are a great country with great people. I get elections are important but your tribalism of belonging... is on another level.
    Does the name calling actually mobilise and inspire people to vote?

    This is why politics as a whole leaves me disenfranchised.
