Texas Democrats walk-out on Voting Rights bill

[Resnic]

If you don't agree with it that's fine, vote against it. But if you walk out you should be fired on the spot.

This isn't a fucking McDonald's where kids walk out because they don't feel they are being praised enough for working s fry machine. It's a god damn form of government and it has no place for immature shit like this. Vote against it, argue about it, try to come up with a compromise, do something, anything. But don't act like some entitled brat and just walk out. You're responsible for representing the american people, there is no room for that kind of behavior. And if you lose the vote then suck it up and move on.

That's bush league bullshit right there.

When someone votes twice they violate everyone's Right to Vote.

Yet there's a distinct lack of proof that voting twice is an actual problem.

Voter ID laws protect everyone's Right to Vote.

Maybe, but they also make voting less likely. Something you recognize and something you can't give a shit about. So you want laws to tackle an imaginary problem. Laws that lower voter participation.

Democrats are habitual liars and cheaters who cannot win without cheating.

Where I sit cheating is, changing the rules of a contest so you are more likely to win. Cheating is also taking unfair advantage. Like for instance lose the popular vote and winning anyways.

Sounds like what is going on in Texas. The Republicans fear it turning blue and are attempting to stop it.

hurry democrats, ship in as many illegals as you can sneak across the border!!!!!!!

 

[22lcidw]

Democrats rely on low IQ, racist idiots many of whom are illegal aliens for votes.

Sounds more like Trump supporters.

You idiots ALWAYS say that, until a conservative actually tests you on intelligence, race and legality. Then you fail on all three miserably.

California turns out to be one of the "dumbest" states in the union with an average IQ of only around 95.2, democrats are the ones bringing in all the illegals, and every one of you is prejudiced racially, if not against blacks then against whites!

Not on these boards. Where are the smart Republicans found? The states with the highest level of education per person are blue.

If true that does not mean anything. I am betting you the slaves who build our goods over seas may be smarter then many of us.

Texas Dems abandon House floor - blocking passage of voting bill before final deadline

In a last ditch attempt to block a sweeping GOP voting bill, all Democrats walked off the House floor Sunday night, preventing a vote on the legislation before a fatal deadline.The Republican priority bill is an expansive piece of legislation that would alter nearly the entire voting process...

www.rawstory.com

When people vote twice, but people in Wyoming are given four times the voting power than those in Texas and California no one gives a damn.

It's crazy.

Another idiot who doesn't understand how electoral votes are allocated. Let me help you out. A state gets one electoral vote for each U.S. House Representative and Senator. The number of House Reps in each state is determined by the state's population, based on the census.

So no, the people of Wyoming do not have 4 times the voting power of California and Texas. That is so absurd I don't even want to know how you concocted it.

-Population Wyoming... let's call it 600000, I'm a generous sort. Number of Senators 2 Wyoming Population 2021 (Demographics, Maps, Graphs)
Population California... let's call it 39 million. Number of Senators 2

Relative voting power Wyoming, California. 65 to 1. So I guess you're kind of right it's not 4.

Actual result in the senate that is split 50/50, Republicans have the same number of senators while at the same time representing 41 MILLION, as 41 and 6 zeros fewer Americans than their Democratic counterparts.

-In the presidential races it becomes even more interesting. In the last 30 years, Republicans have won the majority of the voters exactly 1 time, yet they have been able to provide the president 3 times.

- As for the house.
Gerrymandering has succeeded in making a lot of these races so unfair that 20 or 30 percent disparity between votes and actual seats gained are not uncommon.

The Senate is supposed to represent the states, not the people in the states. Therefore, each state has equal representation. It simply doesn't matter how many people live there. That's why the democrats are so hell-bent on making DC and Puerto Rico into states, so they would gain 4 new democrat Senators who represent not very many people.

I understand the logic behind it. ( No matter how little actual sense it makes). Just don't state that there isn't a disparity in voting power because there is. This is where my actual football analogies came from.

This OP is stating that not only demanding of the Vikings that they need 11 not 10 yards for a first down is right, but that protesting the NFL wanting to make it 12 yards amounts to cheating.

Thanks for suggesting football analogies they seem to work nicely lol.

The point being to prevent the constituents of the few most populous states from completely dictating US law and policy in a way that departs from the will of the people in the majority of states.

Which, in turn, serves as a de facto Voting Rights Restrictions bill, in some settings and context...

Because the country was founded as a federation of powerful states with a WEAK federal government. That has become perverted into a single entity with weak states dominated by a POWERFUL federal government, and we can thank Lincoln for the push in that direction. Literally, there was very little if any consideration for the opinion of the entire population. Remember that Virginia, Massachusetts, North and South Carolina, etc., all existed as independent states BEFORE the union was formed, and they wanted any outside influence to be muted. The federal government was formed to facilitate things like interstate trade and to prevent the states from attacking each other. IOW, people in Pennsylvania didn't give a flying rat's patoot what people in Virginia thought about the issues of the day.

The states that formed the union and ratified the Constitution were independent states. To change the way things are set up, you need to amend the Constitution, and that's where it always stops because the smaller states are not going to go along with something that will completely rob them of their voice. Majority rules is basically mob rule, and we are set up to avoid that. IOW, residents of NYC and LA should not be dictating to residents of Wyoming how they should live.

Clearly you didn't read the article. Repigs want to restrict people's right to vote yet the dems are cheating?
You're a bit mixed up there son.
During election they wanted booths closed which would limit access to blacks to vote because they assumed they would vote Democrat yet the dems are the cheaters?
You've got a very short memory.

You can't take risks when the stakes are so high, my friends

Republicans need to go all the way and prevent Democrats from ever winning Texas in the presidential election especially

 

[toobfreak]

California turns out to be one of the "dumbest" states in the union with an average IQ of only around 95.2

Where are the smart Republicans found? The states with the highest level of education per person are blue.

Hey jackass, we were talking about intelligence, now you're trying to change it to education. Do you have any idea that education doesn't make you "smarter?" Education is training for a career or job, intelligence is a native ability one is born with. Getting a college degree doesn't raise your IQ, stupid.

If blue states have more education, it is only because that is where most big colleges are, followed by high tech companies to hire them. Doesn't change the fact that Californians have one of the lowest average IQs of any state!

View attachment 495899

Here we can see the average IQ in CA is 95.5, second only to Mississippi. I see no correlation between "color" of state and IQ. Half the smartest states appear Blue while others are red. Same with the lowest IQs---- some are red states like Miss, La, and Alabama, yet others are Ca, Nevada and New Mexico, blue states.

It never fails that the minute a Lefty like you starts putting down others for lack of IQ, you come along and say something really dumb to disprove your own theory!

I question the accuracy of this chart. What is the data source used to create this? I'm not aware of the existence of any nationwide IQ registry or database. To begin with, IQ is not a standardized objective measure. There's a significant degree of subjectivity and variables (such as test conditions and application/interpretation bias) that affect the results. A person can take an IQ test twice, a month apart, given by different test providers, and end up with different scores. More to the point, most people have never been given a legitimate IQ test. Sure, a lot of people have taken so-called IQ tests online, but those are worthless for a multitude of reasons.

That said, I don't disagree with your bottom line conclusion that there is no valid correlation between the polical "color" of a state and the mean IQ of its residents. That conclusion stands to reason. There are a number of factors that would affect the mean IQ of a given state's residents, and political "color" via a state's electoral vote trends in presidential elections is likely insignificant. Larger states in terms of population will tend to have a more even distribution that more closely compares to the variance and mean of the overall US population, than smaller states. Then there are demographic sub factors within that metric that further affect the results to varying degrees, such as socioeconomic and environmental factors.

Yeah, unfortunately, I don't remember where, the chart was taken off of a website which seemed articulate enough in providing the kind of data I was looking for, but I agree that individual testing can be variable, but averaged out to a group state-wide, I don't see any reason not to believe the data isn't credible, unless you have another chart from a better source which says the opposite.

To its credit, a couple years ago I read in a separate article somewhere that commented about the same low scores in California, so I tend to believe the suggestion.

Texas Dems abandon House floor - blocking passage of voting bill before final deadline

In a last ditch attempt to block a sweeping GOP voting bill, all Democrats walked off the House floor Sunday night, preventing a vote on the legislation before a fatal deadline.The Republican priority bill is an expansive piece of legislation that would alter nearly the entire voting process...

Clearly you didn't read the article. Repigs want to restrict people's right to vote yet the dems are cheating?
You're a bit mixed up there son.
During election they wanted booths closed which would limit access to blacks to vote because they assumed they would vote Democrat yet the dems are the cheaters?
You've got a very short memory.

Wrong again.
The Republicans want to protect people's Right to Vote from the Democrat Voter Fraud Machine.
The Democrats are violating everyone's Right to Vote with their voter fraud.

Aw, gee, poor little Snowflake!!!!

How dare those nasty Democrats stand in the way of the most draconian voter suppression bill since Jim Crow! Just like they stood in the way of gerrymandering.

The "yellow press" is calling this piece of shit bill "voter security legislation". The legitimate, well sourced and reliable press, are calling it "voter suppression".

Then you repeat all of the Trump lies about voter ID, illegals voting, and then make the false claim that Democrats can't win without cheating. It's Republicans who can't win without voter suppression or gerrymandering.

Republican Presidents have only won one popular vote this century - 2006, yet they've held the White House for 12 of the past 20 years - to disastrous results.

And then you fools come in here and make all kinds of wild and ridiculous claims about Democrats which shows you've done nothing but watch FOX News for the past 30 years.

I think it's time to consider pulling Rupert Murdoch's broadcast license.

Yet there's a distinct lack of proof that voting twice is an actual problem.

Voter ID laws protect everyone's Right to Vote.

Maybe, but they also make voting less likely. Something you recognize and something you can't give a shit about. So you want laws to tackle an imaginary problem. Laws that lower voter participation.

Democrats are habitual liars and cheaters who cannot win without cheating.

Where I sit cheating is, changing the rules of a contest so you are more likely to win. Cheating is also taking unfair advantage. Like for instance lose the popular vote and winning anyways.

That's funny. You might as well say a football team takes unfair advantage when they win games by scoring touchdowns while the other team kicks more field goals.

A touchdown is different than a fieldgoal. A vote should be a vote.

You want a football analogy? No problem. What about telling the Vikings that they need 11 yards for a first down? Or the cowboys that they have to start a game 4 points down.

At the moment a Democratic president needs on average 4 to 5 percent more votes to win the election to overcome the electoral college.

In the 50 50 split Senate Republicans represent 41 million fewer people.

Irrelevant. Every presidential candidate knows how many electoral votes he/she needs to wrap up in order to win the election, and every candidate knows that electoral votes don't equate to popular votes, and plans their campaigns accordingly. The systems as it stands now ensures that all parts of the country get at least some attention from the candidates, as they can't safely ignore large areas of the country, as Hillary found out.

You want something to elect the president that was never intended to elect him. The House is the only chamber that is supposed to directly represent the people, which is why it is called the People's House, and Representatives are elected by and represent the people of their district. The Senate is called the State's House because each state has an equal voice in it, and it is supposed to represent the interests of the states. The president was not supposed to be elected by the people, but by the states, with each state given a voice, and smaller states given a louder voice to ensure that the president wasn't always elected by the biggest states. What you want is essentially a pure democracy where each office is filled by popular vote, aka mob rule. The end result of what you want would be a presidential campaign season marked by candidates flying from big city to big city, completely ignoring anyone not living in one. Rural dwellers need not even bother voting because their votes would be safely ignored.

Correct, and it will fall on deaf ears

California turns out to be one of the "dumbest" states in the union with an average IQ of only around 95.2

Where are the smart Republicans found? The states with the highest level of education per person are blue.

Hey jackass, we were talking about intelligence, now you're trying to change it to education. Do you have any idea that education doesn't make you "smarter?" Education is training for a career or job, intelligence is a native ability one is born with. Getting a college degree doesn't raise your IQ, stupid.

If blue states have more education, it is only because that is where most big colleges are, followed by high tech companies to hire them. Doesn't change the fact that Californians have one of the lowest average IQs of any state!

View attachment 495899

Here we can see the average IQ in CA is 95.5, second only to Mississippi. I see no correlation between "color" of state and IQ. Half the smartest states appear Blue while others are red. Same with the lowest IQs---- some are red states like Miss, La, and Alabama, yet others are Ca, Nevada and New Mexico, blue states.

It never fails that the minute a Lefty like you starts putting down others for lack of IQ, you come along and say something really dumb to disprove your own theory!

I question the accuracy of this chart. What is the data source used to create this? I'm not aware of the existence of any nationwide IQ registry or database. To begin with, IQ is not a standardized objective measure. There's a significant degree of subjectivity and variables (such as test conditions and application/interpretation bias) that affect the results. A person can take an IQ test twice, a month apart, given by different test providers, and end up with different scores. More to the point, most people have never been given a legitimate IQ test. Sure, a lot of people have taken so-called IQ tests online, but those are worthless for a multitude of reasons.

That said, I don't disagree with your bottom line conclusion that there is no valid correlation between the polical "color" of a state and the mean IQ of its residents. That conclusion stands to reason. There are a number of factors that would affect the mean IQ of a given state's residents, and political "color" via a state's electoral vote trends in presidential elections is likely insignificant. Larger states in terms of population will tend to have a more even distribution that more closely compares to the variance and mean of the overall US population, than smaller states. Then there are demographic sub factors within that metric that further affect the results to varying degrees, such as socioeconomic and environmental factors.

Yeah, unfortunately, I don't remember where, the chart was taken off of a website which seemed articulate enough in providing the kind of data I was looking for, but I agree that individual testing can be variable, but averaged out to a group state-wide, I don't see any reason not to believe the data isn't credible, unless you have another chart from a better source which says the opposite.

IQ is most definitely improved by education, because it improves general knowledge. But I question why you're using IQ levels and hate speech to further divide your country. You lot spend all of your time piling hate on blue states, Democrats and leftists in general. You offer no solutions, just scathing and pointless criticism, mostly based on right wing media lies.

People need something to vote for. All you have is "We're not Democrats". Of course, if Republicans really were doing a good job for the country, they'd have something to run on, instead of "the Democrats are horrible".



,Grow up, and stop bitching about every little thing. Come up with some solutions, instead of complaining and whining constantly.

Republicans are the ones who are corrupt and racist. They are attempoting to establish a dictatorsghip by making ot harder to vote. Counties that support the regime will get more polling places while those who disagree with the regime will get fewer polling places. Texas has closed numerous polling places and they have overwhelmingly meant that minorities have to wait much longer than whites. In the Democrat primarr, black voters had to wait 3 and a half hours to vote. If Republicans have thewir way, tghey would wait even longer.

The Democrats did the right thing. They are fighting a fascist attempt to establish a dictatorship. The voting rights of Texans are under attack by Republicans. The Democrats did their duty to fight for their constituents.

There is no evidence anyone voted twice. There is no evidence that non-citizens voted. There is nothing wrong with mail in ballots,. Republicans are violating Texans' right to vote.

Republicans are the habitual liars and cheaters. They know they are in trouble as the state becomes more diverse. Trump said it himself. The more voters there are, the more likely they are to lose.
