Preki's most recent post on 2+2:

lol

Yeah he ran to the mods and reported me for being a big meanie. Looks like he caught a temp himself

Oh this was addressed at me btw, just saw it. Guy with 200 posts really trying to throw his weight around.

Lol. I am still waitng for your army of libs to explain to me why the video I posted was a racist one. Also, it is beyond funny when people attach their self worth to their post count.

But my post count! Who says I attach my self worth to my post count?

(btw your video is racist because it reduces the entire problem of black voter suppression to a few black people in a blue state saying "yeah I have an ID" and thus concludes that all black people must)

Alright, you get one response from me, and if you aren't genuine in discussing the issue, I'm done with you. I watched two and a half minutes of the video, which was good enough for me to poke two blatantly huge holes in it.

The video is a joke because he took the responses out of context, making it look like white liberals think black people are stupid. Black people in this country are more likely to be poor due to hundreds of years of systematic bias starting with slavery and continuing into modern times with practices like redlining and the inherent racism in the criminal justice system.

It's also a joke because he went to Harlem to ask black people if they had ID. The plight of voters to get ID is not in big cities where they can easily get around. It's in the deep south, where people without a car cannot easily travel to the nearest DMV. In Alabama, they coincidentally closed 31 of 67 DMV locations - most of them in predominantly African-American counties - after enacting voter ID laws.

According to the ACLU there are currently 250,000 registered voters in Alabama without ID who would now have to travel outside their county to get ID. That's pretty hard to do without a car. Poor people are less likely to have cars (and thus driver's licenses), and black people are more likely to be poor based on the aforementioned systemic issues.

The GOP game plan is:

1. Require voter ID.

2. Make it harder for poor people and minorities to get that ID.

If you're really curious about the issue, you can do some research and find all sorts of tactics that have been put into place in the south to make it harder for African-Americans to vote since the VRA was allowed to lapse.

Negative. Sometimes mods actually read threads themselves.

I quit reading your novel when you admitted you didnt even watch the entire video.

I can see that point about living in a rural vs city area, but it doesnt take away how young white libs view blacks. Also, I wasnt addressing you about the post count, jiggy made the comment about my low post count. Maybe you should try reading the forums.

I did watch the entire video. Everything in that post is valid.

Care to address the content of anything cuserounder said?

Warning to everyone: don't call preki what he is, or you may get in trouble. I got a warning for name-calling for calling preki the t-word that rhymes with goal.

I mean when is name calling really just describing a poster's posting style? He's definitely t-wording this forum.

Maybe take another look at preki's t-wording, then? He won't even engage in discourse. I'm done w/ him anyway at this point, given his non-response after I gave him a chance despite his likely t-wording, so I'll step aside and see what happens, but c'mon now...

I engaged in discourse with another poster who actually watched the video. Did you miss that post? At least watch the whole video, man, is it that hard?

Shocker, no response...

I watched it. My points are the same. Address it or you're obviously trolling..

I watched the video too and the post addressing it is completely valid. Also apologize for saying preki reported me when he didn’t. Now it’s your turn to respond as to why the video has merit. Also if you had read the thread you’d see that this point has been addressed as nauseum and you coming in here to drop the mic is nothing new.

He doesn’t have time to click links, you think he has time to read three thousand plus posts? Our man only has time to spam links to articles and videos he may or may not have perused. Reading is for librul dummies.

Urban areas don't get to vote early, but rural areas get to. That's a bold law (just tossed by a court). You can't get any more transparent.

They should push it more and allow voting only 10:00am to 10:05am in urban areas.

You got warned for calling him a troll? JFC the modding.

Republicans have absolutely no shame.

And Democrats refuse to fight fire with fire. Until they do, the GOP has nothing to lose... Succeed and you get to suppress Democrats' votes. Fail and return to the status quo... It's a huge freeroll every time they do something sinister to suppress Democratic votes.

With how much conservatives whine every time a conservative Facebook or twitter user gets banned can you imagine the ****storm if dems closed polling stations in rural areas to have more urban ones open?

They’d make the Benghazi hearings look like that kids court on John Oliver

That'd be fine. Let it shine a light on the issue and their efforts to disenfranchise minority voters. Propose bipartisan federal laws to prevent such tactics. Nobody is changing their votes over this stuff, or the GOP would be getting slaughtered every election.

The GOP would announce open season for armed racist militias to cause havock at urban polling places.

But luckily they'd mostly wet their pants at the sight of a black person and run back to the boonies.

Except the ones that are cops and have experience gunning down innocent, unarmed black people and not being held responsible.

A good 2 minute video highlighting the problems with voter ID laws from Let America Vote (Jason Kander's group), including some choice video clips of GOP officials talking out loud about using ID laws not to stop fraud, but to help them win:



Some relevant garphs from the video








Overall, 11% of eligible voters (21 million people) do not have an ID

New Hampshire GOP isn't even trying to provide cover
