“Not intended to be a factual statement”. These assholes are near clones of one another, aren’t they? Only someone as dumb as McTurtle would believe someone as dumb as McTurtle. He’s counting on that too…
McTurtle obviously lives in an integrity-free zone. Either that or the fucking twilight zone.
I am sure that what I just read is that “The Turtle” just said that to allow all American Citizens to vote would shift the balance to the Democrats and doing that would just not be right.
This logic makes no sense. How would it give Democrats an electoral advantage to pass protections if there are no serious barriers to voting?
If there are no serious barriers to voting, then the protections Democrats seek would do nothing and you shouldn’t fear them.
But it’s Mitch McConnell we’re talking about. He’s the guy who sues against campaign finance reform because he’s indebted to his corporate and fossil fuel overlords.
If there are no barriers to voting then freeing up the right to vote even more has NO ELECTORAL ADVANTAGE.
If there is electoral ramifications from improving the voting system it means that there must, at present, be desired votes that are not currently being transformed into actual votes. And that’s just a polite expression for voter suppression - which in turn is a polite term for STEALING ELECTIONS.
“What was struck down were the provisions that absurdly treated the
South differently,” McConnell told USA Today, in reference to the Shelby decision. “They don’t apply anymore. It’s 50 years later."
Ah do declaih, that is just so right. Y'all never see Southerners yearning for their "culture" anymore, or clinging to symbols of the Confederacy, or enacting Jim Crow/poll tax laws to prevent minorities from voting. It's just those Nawtherners and minorities gettin' all uppity and agitatin' wheah they don't belong!
