President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Alma, this is all the stuff that was in the border bill Trump KO'd. Also, border crossings are way down, a documented fact. The problem that white Americans would live under dictatorship and probably commit genocide rather than be outnumbered precedes Biden. Also Trump. Also George Washington.

 

Fundraising surges? I'll believe it when the FEC reports come out.

 

Vote by mail is good now

 

Hope some pundit is bookmarking this for the day Trump claims it was a "rigged election" because of all the mail-in votes.

 

How dare Joe Biden try to win votes, doing the things the GOP says he should do.

Look one post above yours, to see the other guy trying to win votes.

 

“Rule of law” is a joke to these people.

 

Also worth noting: the immigration "issue" is about 90% bullshit, and a way for Republicans to try to counteract the abortion vote by bringing out the racist vote.

 

Granted that there wasn’t much to vote for in NJ today but Mrs. W voted in the primary 15 minutes before the polls closed and was the 13th Democrat to vote in person out of a potential 750ish in our Ward

 

We've only had mail-in voting in this country since, oh about 160 years, when soldiers in the Civil War were doing it.

 

In the 1864 election, Sec. of War Stanton gave entire Union regiments furloughs to go home and vote (Contrary to what was supposed at the time, despite their staggering losses, Union soldiers voted overwhelmingly for Lincoln). A century later, Republicans in Congress made it as hard as possible for GIs in WW2 to vote in the 1944 election. And of course, it wasn't until 1972 that 18-year olds, in or out of uniform, could vote in most jurisdictions.

 

Lots of adult white men, the only ones allowed to vote, cast absentee votes or used a proxy at home to vote for them.
