A better choice than all the Amendment back and fourth is just to take 50-70 million people from the most beleaguered places on earth, expedite their citizenship and settle them in Nebraska, Oklahoma, Indiana, Idaho, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, South Carolina, Alaska, etc. that should be the final nail in the coffin of the GOP. From Lincoln to nothing, R.I.P.

I'd let natural attrition (old age+) trim the ranks of the old white racist party, the rest will likely leave for Argentina or Germany, And the unfortunate social Republicans will likely die prematurely from either opiate addiction and/or the gutting of healthcare and other social programs.

Then the democrats will fix the mess created by the racist greedy Republican pigs

As they have done repeatedly in the past.

Obamacare was a dismal failure.k
Obamacare was a qualified success.ike all pieces of major legislation, its actual operation revealed the need for fixes. In a normal political climate, that would have been fairly quickly done. But Republicans invested.heavily in demonizing their ideas, like the individual mandate, for political reasons, for normalcy.
A hysterical re-write of the history of ObamaCare passed only  by democrats (who immediately lost the House at the next election) and ended Obama’s legislative agenda for his remaining  six years in office.

HYSTERICAL!

Oglala Lakota County, 2016 election:

Clinton: 86%

Trump   8%

Just in case there are any lingering doubts about how Indians vote....

Yeah.......

and abut what, 6% of the state....

but the number of supposed "disenfranchised" will quite likely be inconsequential.

I would imagine some homeless people in ND would like to vote as well.

It is historically accurate, as is the fact that the Republicans decision to demonize their own ideas worked. Which is why they pursued that tack, regardless of its.effect.on actual human beings, because, for Republicans if they can get power, then fuck the sick.

ND is a Republican state.

Ms Heitkamp did quite well in winning her seat (by 1%).  But reelection was always going to be a tough go.

Yes, it was gonna be a tough go so the GOP is trying to take away her margin of victory, indigenous folks on the rez’.

Now they need to have a street address on their photo IDs except, they all use P.O. Boxes because there aren’t dedicated streets. They don’t live in suburban subdivisions.

Cheating motherfuckers.


Meanwhile, The Bismarck Tribune reports that a Native American organization is working to come up with a last-minute solution for voters who would otherwise be turned away:

"Bret Healy, a consultant for Four Directions, which is led by members of South Dakota's Rosebud Sioux Tribe, said the organization believes it has a common-sense solution.

"The group is working with tribal leaders in North Dakota to have a tribal government official available at every polling place on reservations to issue a tribal voting letter that includes the eligible voter's name, date of birth and residential address."

A state official told tribal leaders that such letters will be accepted as proof of residency, the Tribune reports.



Why does the GOP make people jump through hoops just to cast their vote? Because they know those folks won’t vote for them.

When your party’s electoral strategy depends on fewer people voting it means they know their policies suck for most people.

Speaking of history...

I guess it meant nothing to voters who rejected Obama’s choice to carry on his half-baked economic plans.

You mean the three MILLION more who voted to continue his economically sound plans?

Your party is full off shit.

6% can swing a LOT of elections, Kid.  As Larry pointed out, with a punctuation mark I endorse.  Sounds like you believe 6% don't count if they are Native Americans.  Being disenfranchised is "inconsequential," I guess, if it's not you and your type of people, right?  You are grossly unfit to be an American citizen.

Red is trying to paint 8 years of GOP treason as patriotism. Of course he sounds hysterical. He also sounds delusional, spittle flecked, and deranged.

Sounds Zen, man.

I think this Kid Carter character is some kind of performance art.  I mean, 6% of an electorate doesn't matter?

The soft sounds of the impacts of those viscious little droplets carrying more disease than information. Tiny, tiny, sick sounds, the essence of what he posts.

Obamacare was a dismal failure.
Do you mean in comparison to the Trump/Republican health care program, which was nonexistent?

Hmmm...I didn't think Obamacare was adopted at all.

And that explains why your opinion is worthless, Bambu - because it is ignorance-based and using erroneous "facts."
