The Election is Rigged (I'm Going To Lose)
|
The problem with your comparison, BM, is that on the one hand you have an organization not affiliated with the Democrats engaged in illegal behavior, and on the other hand you have Republicans using their governmental powers to engage in "legal" suppression..

And they are both wrong for doing that. Of course, the Republicans doing it is much worse since they actually have legal power. I was never trying to deny that.

Did I say that two guys is worse than state authorities doing it? No, I didn't. No, you didn't even mention state sponsored voter suppression. That's why I pointed it out to you. You need to work on the scale of the assault on voting rights, BM.

Looking back through this thread -- I was on my phone earlier -- I see now that you didn't make a direct comparison. I was wrong for saying you did and apologize for that. Having said that, no one can intimdate me from exercising my franchise without my co-operation, but if this or that law were to mandate requirements I couldn't meet, that's a different kettle of fish. I'm not worried about the Republicans trying to disenfranchise me -- I'm their target demographic, middle-aged white guy -- but that doesn't mean I'm not concerned about them trying to disenfranchise other Americans who aren't like me. I am, and their efforts deserve notice and criticism far more than some two-bit organization with an ax to grind.  RE: The Election is Rigged (I'm Going To Lose)

You'll notice that they don't directly respond to the videos but rather they side step and return to justify their narrative of white oppression. Whether the oppression is state sponsored or inflicted by individuals or groups, the intent behind it is still the same.

I am.... I get what you're saying, but I was speaking in terms of their assumptions. No doubt they deploy their divisive rhetoric in order to sway independent white males like myself towards voting for their candidates. They know their base. They also know they have to expand it. |
