As it should be for all!
Very sad to see that party rethoric has become of higher importance than the issues they should stand for. I truly hope this can be sliced out of politics.

In the states. For like 40 years + (anyone know more specific, affirmative action?) Theres been an unfair advantage on applications (ask liz Warren the foreclosure snake -look it up- about her harvard apllications when no one was looking) head to head for hiring. When all else compares, skill, merit, performance, etc. Theres ethnicity checkboxes that are used to promote diversity over white ppl on applications. So minprities have had an advantage for work since applications use race or ethnicity to promote or make decisions. Which is ironic and another thing overlooked often, might even be prejudice if people are put ahead of others based on skin or origin.
Minorities have had an advantage over white people w my example above. For decades.
Off to pay taxes!!!!!! Yewww

Yeah. Sure. You really live in a DT bubble.
And with that, I think I am out. Seems like you are so far removed from reality, your head so far up in dreamworld, that there is no sense in discussing anything.

We live in an information age in which the line between reality and idea is blurry at best. It is both fascinating and terrifying.
“Minorities have had an advantage over white people in America for decades.”

think a little bit about what i am saying. keep in mind i am recipient of character for Blue Chip award, befriending the less fortunate (mentally disabled)
and have a lifelong reputation of being a good guy. 2 year hockey captain and leader.
here, just so people dont think im something im not, and give some thought to what i post
...was the misfit of high school hockey, an extremely gifted skater and stickhandler who put a greater priority on his camaraderie with ORR/Fairhaven teammates than he did his own playing career. His trademark swooping skating style and the puck sticking to his heavily taped wooden stick is a delightful image ORR hockey will never see again. “He’s talented enough to play somewhere else, but he stuck around to play with his buddies,” said coach Jay Hiller, recalling how his center standout recruited four or five classmates to try out for the team. During a trying senior season, he managed 8-14-22 totals until injuries forced him to playing out the season at defense. “As good a hockey player as he is, he’s a better person,” said Hiller.
nice bit of subjectivity @Colorado after i laid out facts about applications, been on there for decades, and a real world example.
the woman president of this company (im her executive assistant, accounting, hr, safety, etc., shes a strong character and smart too)
utilized it not long ago. we didnt hire a few ppl because they were white.

excerpts
"I cringe when someone promotes integrated society and embracing diversity in the breath of the same sentence. It seems logical to me that the very act of integrating a society is to move away from embracing diversity and vice versa. Everyone is treated as an equal without reference to race, creed or religion. Not all agree with true integration of society, that much is apparent. Various factions of society are proponents on preserving certain ethnic groups, much like treating them as museum pieces.
There are some who espouse that the purpose of collecting ethnic data using application forms for jobs or university candidates are ways of meeting ethnic quotas through affirmative action . It is not in the scope of this article to discuss affirmative action; however, there are many cases whereby applicants are confused or lie as to their ethnic origin just to gain admittance or fulfil that quota. It works for some but clearly not for others. This is a very divisive subject indeed."

I think the best way of deterring discrimination would be to remove all identifying marks from the application process. No note of name, race, gender etc. Hard to discriminate against who you don’t know.

I love this "no evidence" angle. 1000 sworn affidavits, video footage, more ballots cast than legal voters. Yeah, move along folks. Nothing to see here.

Lets look at the real story, not a Facebook post purposely truncated to leave out the details
Judge blocks voter purge in 2 Georgia counties
Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner, sister of Stacey Abrams, rejected a call for her to recuse.
www.politico.com
Counties were trying to remove voters based on UNVERIFIED change of address information
Besides that the people are required by law to be notified that they are being removed, which wasnt done.
Just another example of an attempted voter suppression scheme

State courts play a vital role in our democracy. The judges who serve on them are called on to enforce fundamental civil and human rights and to adjudicate millions of cases that directly touch people’s lives. Without fair and impartial state courts, the civil and criminal justice systems break down, becoming yet another means for the powerful to impose their will rather than serve as the last refuge of the powerless. However, because almost every state’s system of judicial selection forces judges to engage in elections and other highly politicized processes to achieve and retain their offices, most state court judges today are under terrific pressure to be accountable to politicians rather than the state and federal constitutions and laws.

I wouldnt doubt that there may be pressure and yes there have been corrupt judges but they are few and far between.
I do believe that most judges, who took an oath to uphold the constitution, to take that oath seriously and abide by it.
The fact that 50+ lawsuits failed because judges, in many cases judges appointed by Trump himself, ruled against him because there was no evidence.
If they felt beholden to him, why would they not allow the cases?
Trump pushed to get Judge Barrett on the bench because he thought she would vote in his favor to over turn the election, along with the other 2 he put up there.
A 6:3 conservative majority didnt side with him. They unanimously said it had no merit. They are not his personal judges, lawyers, defenders.
They work for the people of the United States to uphold the constitution of the United States..
If there had been real evidence they would have heard the cases. Those 1000 sworn affidavits were deemed inaccurate and not credible in many courts. People can swear to whatever they want, to what they BELIEVE is true, it doesnt mean it is true. I can swear the moon is pink with purple polka dots, but its not.

as i already said: i dont buy anything with the lawsuits, dominion, sharpies, observers, etc. i believe what did happen (objectively) that let joe 'win'. people were allowed to vote 3 mos early (the objective part), and that was plenty of time to get ballots whereever they (city officials) wanted. theres no accountability with that, even traditional elections without ID, postage, address on ballots, let alone extended mail in systems; all on the back of heinous behavior (my opinion, subjectivity) by the left the last 4 years. heck, youre all still not over that 2016 election and trying to call out people raising an eyebrow to the 2020 one.
im also not saying anything can be reversed or that it even should, if you noticed.
i dont think id be able to amount that to a clean win from a personal point of view; no worries if you do.
i think the world is in far worse hands with a swamp creature like ole joe at the helm.
they better keep this IRA/401k market up with printing and creating more debt, to offset the idea in my above sentence. personally i think we will see a major market crash in January or 1st qtr 2020

You do realize that in order to vote at all (in person or by mail in ballot), you need to register to vote in the state right? In order to register to vote you need to show ID, a birth certificate (proof you are a US citizen) and residency in the district you are voting in. That is why you dont need to show ID in most states when you actually vote because you already proved who you are. You sign in and they match your signature to an older one. People would have to be pretty damn good forgers to walk in and forge a signature without ever seeing it before.
I have already spent way too much time on this thread and I need to get something else done today.

fair point but i do not buy accountability without an ID in person, period.
