I am on board with assuring voting rights. To me, that is constructive and will be remembered well.

It's the endless claims that someone said this or that wrong and that I am the victim of this or that trivial thing that damages the cause you are promoting. It makes Republicans wish to resist. It is what encourages them to make the same sorts of victim claims. It is counter-productive.

If you want to win the argument, show why the future you imagine is a good one, that you are not trying to create a country in which Republicans think they have no place and that their own lifestyles and ideas are going to be trampled. Because the talk of war is exactly what makes them want to do battle too.

There's no path to happiness unless you describe the happy country you wish to live in. It isn't going to be a place in which people say how unfair everything is. It isn't going to be a place where a person is treading on eggshells because everything they say may be construed in a negative way. It isn't going to be a place where people are told to feel ashamed of themselves and their country if they are not.

It's going to be a place where people find something to feel proud of and in which folks have a broad highway for conversation. Otherwise, by all means see the US turn in circles of mutual hatred forever.

There are over 250 laws to restrict voting in over 40 states.

This is being labeled Jim Crow in a suit.

We are fighting a war, a war that will allow Americans their right to VOTE!

In Georgia they want to make a law that if you give someone waiting to vote on line a bottle of water, you are a criminal..
That you can NOT have a bus of voters, unless you get a permit! Think souls to the polls.

In the last 50 years there have been 1,500 voter fraud convictions.
In the last 50 years there have been 1.5 MILLION gun deaths.
Republicans act as if voter fraud is a real problem, it is NOT!

Former President Donald Trump's stolen election lie has convinced 3 of every 4 Republicans that there was widespread voter fraud in last year's election, according to a December Quinnipiac University poll, even though there is broad evidence that it is extremely rare.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office spent 22,000 hours looking for voter fraud and uncovered just 16 cases of false addresses on registration forms, according to The Houston Chronicle. Nearly 17 million voters are registered in Texas.

And while Texas already had some of the most restrictive laws on the books, that isn't stopping state lawmakers from joining their GOP peers across the country to propose new restrictive bills. Republican legislators in Georgia, Arizona, Florida and Wisconsin — many of whom joined with Trump to cast doubt on the system — are legislating to restrict the vote, arguing that new measures are needed to restore trust in the system.

According to the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law, lawmakers have introduced at least 253 restrictive bills in 43 states.
