“If the purges [of potential voters], challenges and ballot rejections were random, it wouldn’t matter. It’s anything but random. For example, an audit by the State of Washington found that a Black voter was 400% more likely than a white voter to have their mail-in ballot rejected. Rejection of Black in-person votes, according to a US Civil Rights Commission study in Florida, ran 14.3% or one in seven ballots cast.”
"[…] Democracy can win* despite the 2.3% suppression headwind.
And that’s our job as Americans: to end the purges, the vigilante challenges, the ballot rejections and the attitude that this is all somehow OK."
I don’t get this repeated talking point. Do you just want people to say you were right? Do you want to quash discussion of politics?
I have a feeling that comments like these, that point backward with blame and promote hopelessness, are foreign disinformation.
They are pointless. Help or get out of the way.
They want all criticism from their left and only their left to be silent forever.
I suspect these people are astroturfers purposefully trying to stay in the way.
Honestly, the thing I miss most about reddit is the volume of people that had already been to a post and either downvoted garbage like that or meaningfully added to the discussion to the point where it’d be drowned out already. This person is spreading misinformation. Cori Bush (who incidentally lost to a pro-Israel democrat) and AOC both vocally supported Kamala, so they’re just wrong in addition to being pro genocide.
