Where is a single Democratic politician fighting to close polling places and restrict Republican populations from voting? Where is a single Republican politician fighting to give greater access to the vote?
Where was a single Democrat who stormed the Virginia capital when Republicans won the Governorship?
2 Republicans in Congress voted for an investigation of the insurrections, so there you go: charity.
- cool_dude85 5y agoTake a look at primary elections in Democrat strongholds like NY to see the same kind of voting restrictions you're railing against, designed of course to ensure that current party power brokers are difficult to challenge.
- theword_ 5y agoTotally dishonest to compare primaries to general elections.
- Clubber 5y agoWhile you focus on the other party, you are probably ignoring the detrimental things the party you support does. This is by design. The GOP supporters do the same thing and can list all the horrible things the Democratic Party does with equal fervor. Did you know the GOP doesn't have superdelegates like the Democrats do? Superdelegates are certainly an example of manipulating the will of the people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdelegate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdelegate
- idontwantthis 5y agoAh yes, superdelegates. One of many gripes with the Democratic Party that are famously equivalent to armed insurrection supported by sitting members of Congress.
- Clubber 5y agoCan you name 5 horrible things the Democratic Party has done in say the last 30 years? If not, you've been brainwashed.
- idontwantthis 5y agoYeah but my dad can beat up your dad.
- pjc50 5y agoSuperdelegates are a matter of internal party organisation. The party still has to go through a real election, whoever's chosen. (It is very weird that the internal politics and internal elections of US political parties seem to be a public matter; open primaries are unheard of in most of the rest of the world.)
- Clubber 5y agoIt's a lot more important with a 2 party system. If one party's administration gets almost 20% of the total primary votes, that's a pretty heavy thumb on the scale. We typically only get 2 real choices: red or blue.
