Republicans know that the people do not like their policies. Republicans have not been able to win in the marketplace of ideas for decades now, they lost the popular vote for president in five of the last six elections. They know that they can not win if every informed citizen who wants to vote will vote.
Their only option is to prevent people from voting.
It used to embarrass Republicans, but they did it anyway. Now they are no longer embarrassed, they just do it.
No. Most people embrace Pro American, Pro Citizen and Pro Taxpayer policy, so you're wrong, AGAIN.
Then Democrats should have no problem with a universal voter ID and some kind of competency test in order to vote. Yet, I see the Democratic Party saying the exact opposite, that such measures disproportionately impact their voter base. What does that say about their base?
Democracy works best when everyone has a voice. Yes that even includes the out of control RWNJs that stormed the capital in January.
Bill Maher has lost credibility years ago and it's just a mouthpiece for the DNC. There is NO voter suppression. More people vote in each national election than the previous one. We have rules and demanding a voter for a government I.D. state or federal is not voter suppression. In Puerto Rico is mandatory to have a government picture I.D. (They provide their own government picture I.D. just to vote) and their voter turnout is higher than the U.S. ALL Latinos countries required government picture I.D. to vote and their voter turnout is also higher than the U.S.
and by the way, giving people food or water or any gift while in line to vote could look like coercion or allowing people bringing bats to intimidate. That's not voter suppression to have rules. Those are rules to keep the polling place neutral and safe.
Liberals love the crap that Bill Maher throws at them. They clap like seals. Just in 1983 Bill Maher was in the movie D.C. Cab trying to be an actor. I was in 7th grade. In the U.S. recycling crap is the norm.

but BLM and their left protesters burning cities and looting stores and beating up store owners or anybody trying to protect their properties is o.k. but protesting inside the capitol having a white skin? well, that's a national crisis.
and this country everybody has a voice from 24/7 media and social networks. More people have more voices today than 50 years ago.

Stop it. That is ridiculous. Most people aren't voting about "ideas". Most Democrats are voting for freebies; they are voting to take stuff from the Republican voters. There's no "idea" Republicans can come up with to stop that.
Most of the rest of the Democrats are voting based on LIES about the Republicans, and again there's nothing Republicans can do about that. Republican ideas don't matter to those voters, either.
Stop it. That is ridiculous.
Republican policy is all about big business and the filthy rich. Everything else is just a wedge issue designed to peel off working people from the party that works to protect them.
As soon as the Republican Party takers control, it reverts to type and attacks consumer protections, environmental protections, and workplace safety regulations. Republicans have fought Social Security since 1935 and the Federal minimum wage law since 1938. The Republican Party is just a vast conspiracy to deprive the American people of a decent life.

this statement is really clueless, like the democrat party is for the poor. Most Democrats in the government are filthy rich and get endless donations from Wall Street and don't mind sending jobs to China for cheap labor or fight in endless wars and be in endless occupations. Biden is the perfect example and he has been in government since 1973 getting rich.
You still think that giving more power to politicians and taxing more equates to giving people a decent life? LMAO! Do you believe the B.S. the DNC feeds you?
What gives Americans a quality life is the private sector and making the economy grow, not giving the government endless powers and raising taxes while raising the cost of living.
Wall Street and Hollywood donated to Biden 3 to 1 over Trump and you have the nerve to say the Republican party is the only party for big business? LMAO! The same people that are back in power bailed them out in 2008. You really write silly things.
What voter suppression? The only voter suppression I've seen is Democrats constantly making it impossilble for folks to have confidence their votes even count.
Quote:
...many countries hailed as more voter-friendly than the United States have voter ID laws in place. Norway mandates that voters present a photo ID, including a “passport, driving license, or bank card that includes a photo,” to vote.
Voters in Northern Ireland must present an “acceptable photo identification” to cast an in-person ballot. Germany requires that voters bring a state-issued voter identification card, but they can substitute another form of ID for that card if they fail to deliver it at the polls.
Ballots in Switzerland are issued by mail, and voters who return their ballots in person are required to show an ID and a state-issued polling card to do so. France requires a voter ID. Israel requires a voter ID. Mexico requires a voter ID. Iceland requires a voter ID.
You get the picture.

So much wrong with this...
For "decades" the two parties have gained control and lost control in a very predictable way.
To conclude that because Democrats now control the entire federal government they will do so for more than two years completely ignores history.
People get tired of Republicans and vote for Democrats, then they get tired of Democrats and vote for Republicans.
Last year, we switched to Democrat control - without Covid-19 sending people running for the care and protection of the nanny state and opportunistic Democrats sending out millions of blank ballots, who knows what might have happened.
"Informed citizen"?
Are you ****ing serious?
FTR, who liked Biden?
I seem to remember him all but eliminated from the primary, and then, on the eve of Super Tuesday, almost everyone, including some very viable candidates, dropped out and endorsed Biden.
Now you have the ****ing gall to lecture Republicans about voter suppression!
