so

that's a start

Isn't it a democratic republic?

I'm trying to understand how the author linked the decisions the republican party made in terms of voting to racism.

republic

that's the thing

wait

ohhhhhh

🤔

yeah.. literally the article I'm being given to discuss whether the author is correct on their analysis or I'm a racist

so I'm trying to figure out how could the analysis be incorrect, in order for me to make a decision on whether it makes the US a "democracy" or not

From what I understand, the restrictions on votes by mail was to ensure the majority of voters would cast their ballots on election day, under the idea that it would be more transparent and not to.. suppress the Latino and black vote

Another thing is, the majority of the latino vote this year was for the republican party. the black vote for republicans has risen as well in this year's election cycle

so.. what the fuck is the author trying to say?

Democracy is cringe, read some Aristotle

Already have

> america wasnt ever a direct democracy
@GoldKeyOboist constitutional republic

^

okay so if buzz from toy story believed he was a real space ranger and not a toy how come he knew to play dead every time Andy came?

SHHHHH

> Isn't it a democratic republic?
@LunaLeMoon constitutional republic

>
right.

I’m a little behind ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I didn’t see the other guy respomd

did you see the article I was given to provide an opinion from?

> did you see the article I was given to provide an opinion from?
@LunaLeMoon article is really biased. The entire article is basically opinion(from a quick skim.). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

yeah, well, I'm trying to write the best counter I can make against the article

I must ask.. In 2013, the supreme court was composed by what political demographic?

because the decisions on the voting rights act were made by a 5-4 vote.

does anyone know?

5 libs and 4 originalists

5 liberals and 4 originalists.. gotcha

Ginsburg, Roberts, Sotomayor, Keagan, and Brayer as libs, then Kennedy, Sacilia, Thomas, and Altio as the originalists

ah, and I assume Ginsburg, Roberts, Sotomayor, Keagan and Brayer voted in favor of dismantling the special provisions in said act?

I guess

If the supreme court does hold up democracy for trump, im not holding my breath either. Will some legit legislation be put foward to get voting ids to stop this madness.

that's what I'm confused about. How does voter ID relate to racism.. the article is really misleading

what the restrictions do is better ensure legal votes to be carried, nothing more.. the only thing is still doesn't block or regulate anything racially driven, although I have yet to see such policies

I havent seen the article you are talking about i was jumped in with a question. My bad. Ive been busy for the last two days sending emails to all of congress asking for legit voter ids. I know nothing is going to be done but when you feel compelled to do something and thats all I can do is send emails.
