Yes, they are selecting for citizens with a valid ID. That's the point! And, no, the law doesn't need to ensure every citizen gets a voting ID. How would one even do that? The voter rolls are out of date and don't contain eve

It was just one word, actually. And, as we are learning now, Hillary Clinton's team paid to infiltrate into whitehouse servers as part of efforts to delegitimize Trump's election: https://www.dailywire.com/news&#x2

Please point out one person in power who suggests selectively applying voter ID laws in a state. If this discussion weren't partisan, your concern would simply translate to: "voter ID laws make sense; let's make sure the laws

It appears we dont really have enough commonly accepted facts to have a fruitful conversation. Welcome to American politics. That you were willing to have a dialog at all with someone who disagrees with you might set you above the average

Similarly, I don't see how "a well documented history of voter suppression" applies to increasing election security. I don't see that phrase in your first link, but I found it here: https://www.studioatao.org&

Yes, and I'm asserting that 90+% of conservatives don't fit the mold you are casting. That was the point of my response. You can find crazies on both sides of the political aisle. One of trump's failures is that he isn't

Thomas Sowell has been debunking the "disparate outcome means racism" fallacy for decades. I wish more people were listening. He's the most underrated genius of his time. https://www.amazon.com/Discrimination-

Willful ignorance doesn't just include lying to push a narrative. It's also an ailment of probably the majority in modern society to both be uninformed about the issues of the day and to have no interest in becoming informed. And

I don't think that's what the right wing is about at all. All the conservative pundits I listen to think Trump behaved disgracefully after the election and that there is still no evidence of sufficient voter irregularities to turn

I consider myself well-educated and have no respect for either the Washington Post or the New York Times. I don't ever wholesale discount what they publish, but I also don't trust anything they put out, especially if it shows a le

Not to belabor the point, but it seems like you're talking past me, not against me. I said the hospitals would be overwhelmed even if everyone got vaccinated, not that they weren't overwhelmed.

You've been duped by the mostly deceitful narrative about overwhelmed hospitals. Look at this data for your state: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/hospitalization-7-day-trend... . Even during the height of a COVID

Sorry to sound cross. I believe I explained my point already, but I'll try to re-iterate in a different way. The CDC measured antibodies and found more variability with natural immunity, then concluded vaccine immunity is more consiste

You are arguing like a child who thinks she can define words to mean whatever she wants them to. But in reality, words are meant to communicate mutually agreed-upon ideas, and in our reality, these phrases have specific definitions: https:

I considered the great barrington declaration first and foremost based on its ideas, not based on its signatories. Similarly, I would take seriously the claim water is wet because it's actually true. I've also spent a good deal of

The CDC, along with the corporate media that works hand-in-hand with the democrat party in the U.S., have long been saying vaccine immunity is more consistent: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/202

If your only critique is that some of the signatures are fake, then you haven't exactly disproved the declaration as much as hurled insults at it. That's usually what people do when they don't have facts on their side.

Nope. That's vaccine immunity. Let's get our terms right. Also, you can infect others presymptomatically with the vaccine. With omicron, it looks like asymptomatic transmission also occurs. Don't worry. I've researched t

Other countries, notably Israel do allow it. Their scientific establishment is apparently a lot smarter than the one in the U.S. Or maybe less corrupt? We can only guess at the motivation behind apparent incompetence of these agencies, ofte

No, I mean, the immunity achieved after fighting off infection, which includes antibodies in the blood stream for a period of time, and, as far as we can tell, long-lasting, probably permanent, T- and B-cell memory.

What you meant to say is that natural immunity varies between individuals. Of course, the same is true with vaccine immunity. The CDC's propaganda campaign to convince people otherwise has about zero science backing it. What is also tr

The comic was pretty unfunny and ignorant. For most people, COVID never was a major threat, and getting infected and getting immunity was always a valid approach. Read the great Barrington declaration, signed by over 10,000 scientists and t

My belief is that people generally quarantine after they show symptoms, so the dangerous period is the presymptomatic phase, and the length of that phase appears to be similar between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. So it's possib
