You can't believe one word a republican says anymore

As George Orwell once said, "All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others." Animal Farm.

We need to get rid of the filibuster and pass voting rights bills.

The problem is not just difficulty in voting but Republican pushed and passed state laws that enable republicans to VOID the choices of voters and choose party loyalists instead, including specifically to the Electoral College. The Electoral College needs to END. What it has done in the past and, with new Republican state laws will do even more in the future, is ensure that the votes of voters for President and Vice President of our nation are NOT equal -- thus ensuring that the nation's goal of equal rights under law will not be reachable in this ever more politically charged environment encouraged and funded by dark money deliberately stroking hate.

I guess death threats really DO make a difference!

Why isn't anyone auditing republican won

We need President Biden another four years so AG Garland has the time to fix some of the damage done by the previous administration. He left America like his bankrupt businesses.

I really wish I could believe him when he says this isn't about overturning elections and just about cleaning up a county's errors. I guess we'll see if the person in to "fix" the problem is really gone in 8-9 month's, or if they're somehow still there for the midterms.

I am under the impression that Joshua doesn’t work enough his subject before confronting some very weird arguments like "Stacey Abrams is the same that D.Trump". He has no argument to confront some ideas, so it's like he was wrong with just posturing arguments. You shouldn't bring this subject if you’re not prepared...

How many times do you show your driver's license? That many opertunities to steal the number.

Read the bills for yourself before you claim suppression
