    so does this include the US dissidents not allowed to vote legally?

    fuck that

    politicians like Biden crafted and wrote laws over the years that culminated in mine and others votes being taken away

    not our fault people keep voting Demopublicans in

    we need to get rid of both these corporate bought parties

          Does that say that Biden’s support is due to “US dissidents not allowed to vote legally”?

            I’m sorry. I thought you were asking for the source of the headline claim. I believe the person you’re responding to was referring to the insurrectionists. Right-wing media tends to label them as dissidents, activists, demonstrators, etc. when they should be described as criminals.

      dissidents not allowed to vote legally

      Do you mean criminals? Are you referring to the insurrectionists or simply people who speak out against the government? Because one of those is legal.

      Presuming you’re talking about disenfranchised citizens, that’s mostly felons. And IMO it is abhorrent to take away a citizen’s right to vote unless that citizen committed a specific type of crime against the government (being that it is the representative of the people), like sedition, treason, or insurrection. And even then, disenfranchisement should not be permanent.

      But notably people are disenfranchised by their state and city jurisdictions. The federal government does not determine whether you can vote in any given election, just the rules that apply to all elections. If you want to blame a federal body, there’s plenty to go around - SCOTUS has upheld disenfranchisement as constitutional and Congress has not really passed meaningful laws defining and regulating the practice. But I can’t think of a law that Biden has been instrumental in that contributes here, other than, of course, his 1994 crime bill. That’s not a small deal but it is far more complicated than “Biden took away voter rights”

      You’re not being oppressed. You post this every single time.

      It’s like you’ve never picked up a US history book.

      Back before women were allowed the vote, they would still go out and work for candidates.
