There is nothing illusionary about the freedom to become president. In the past five years we have had a Black president and perhaps a black VP.
I agree! YOU HAVE THE FREEDOM TO BE ELECTED.
Always someone else's fault. misinforming about the date of an election? Really? no one can do that to anyone who takes it upon themselves to know. If I allowed someone to do that to me, I would think "I am a complete dumbass". not "it's your fault".
Ok... remind me to call a bunch of your elderly relatives and tell them that the deadline to ask for absentee ballots is a couple days after it actually is (in this election cycle when people are weary to go to polling places, especially the old). They believe pretty much anything they hear on Fox News, so it shouldn't be a problem to convince at least a few of them that they'll still be able to vote after they really will. It's someone else's fault when Republican election operatives blatantly admit that they're trying to suppress African American votes. It's been admitted to multiple times in multiple elections with multiple different techniques.
1. Discriminatory mandatory voter ID laws
2. Phone calls with false information
3. Falsified documents in the mail
4. Cumbersome registration laws
5. Voter purges effecting normal voters
6. Felony disenfranchisement (effecting minorities dispraportionately)
7. Shutting down DMV's in minority neighborhoods so voters couldn't get ID's.
8. Restrictive vote by mail policies during national pandemic
9. Monkeying with the post office
10. Opposing paths to citizenship for immigrants who might one day deserve to vote.
11. Opposition to voter holidays.
12. Opposition to extended voting periods in swing states.
13. Closing down poling stations in minority neighborhoods.
14. Reducing funding for election budgets
Seriously, you might be able to explain away a couple of those items, but when it's such a constant stream of gamesmanship to reduce the number of people actually voting... it's clear that there's something more corrupt going on.
