So the Replublicans want people to produce an ID that basically states that they meet the requirements of voting, like being a citizen, born or naturalized, the most sacred right given to citizens, the ability to elect someone to (supposedly) represent you in government. But that raysssist!

Yet, needing an ID to drive a car, gain employment, access certain utilities, and flying on a plane are normal, an easily accessible FREE ID that proves you are who you say you are is wrong?

But what you are unwilling to admit is that BOTH parties Gerrymander.

I missed the part here where anyone said it was racist. But who does it overwhelmingly prevent from voting?

Off to see the fireworks now!

excellent Bernie article.......

His pose is not the traditional progressive managerial-empiricist posture but a moral one. He is very fond of the word “moral” — “moral imperative,” “moral disaster,” “moral crisis” — and those who see the world differently are not, in his estimate, guilty of misunderstanding, or ignorance, or bad judgment: They are guilty of “crimes.”

He is a national socialist in the mode of Hugo Chávez. He isn’t driven by racial hatred; he’s driven by political hatred. And that’s bad enough. “This is not about me,” Bernie is fond of saying. Instead, he insists, it’s about building a grassroots movement that will be in a permanent state of “political revolution” — his words — against the people he identifies as class enemies: Kochs, Waltons, Republicans, bankers, Wall Street, Them – the numerically inferior Them. His views are totalitarian inasmuch as there is no aspect of life that he believes to be beyond the reach of the state, and they are deeply illiberal inasmuch as he is willing to jettison a great deal of American liberalism — including freedom of speech — if doing so means that he can stifle his enemies’ ability to participate in the political process. He rejects John F. Kennedy’s insistence that “a rising tide lifts all boats” — and he is willing to sink as many boats as is necessary in his crusade against the reality that some people make more money than others.

He's also a warped pervert who famously wrote (in the 1970s, I think?) that women fantasize about being gang-raped (now, of course, he says that was taken out of context).

Just imagine for a SECOND, if a GOP candidate said that.

You "think" is an oxymoron because you're not thinking. Really?

Do you ever back up your insults with evidence? Ever? Just once?

Google it. He wrote it. Sorry if it makes him look like the deranged lunatic that he is, but he wrote it.
