“We need to get out there in person and in public—no more tweeting and Facebook and calling folks. We have got to show up and demonstrate. I think that’s what moves things in this country,” says Beto O’Rourke on the fight against voter suppression across the country.

The problem with political jokes is that they get elected.
Or they tell you the news.
Yep. Every single one does
@Seymour Butts Sideliners are historically the first target to be put down before donkeys and elephants go to war with each other. Pick a side or be the first target.
😂 nice!!
@TheZarricCorporate interests donate money to both parties no one ever asks them to pick a side.
I think compulsory voting much like in Australia is a great idea.
NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!
If your vote is suppressed, taxes should not be paid.
And if you don’t pay taxes, you shouldn’t vote
@Kai SchmidtI disagree. If one loses a job or is disabled for whatever reason, you don’t lose your citizenship, and all citizens should vote. Even the billionaires that don’t work or pay taxes.
The right to vote is easy in any democracy. For example, in Costa Rica (CR), all citizens have a universal ID, the “cédula de identidad”. The state give it to every adult citizen (adults in Costa Rica are people with 18 years old or more).
CR use a universal system of vote for all citizens in Costa Rica or forenig contries. The people in the jail can vote.
The vote supression is against the law in CR.
The last civil war, in 1948, was against vote supression.
Ok
Beto the clown. His name is FRANCIS, not Beto. His politician father had him change his name to Beto as a way to pander to Hispanics in Texas. The guy is a spoiled rich never worked a day in his life fraud.
@Nuts Flexington Ted is a nickname for Edward which happens to be Ted Cruz’s middle name. He is Hispanic and white. Beto isn’t Hispanic at all. He’s just white, but since you’re VERY anti-Trump. That argument works for you, right? 🙄 Cue the hateful name calling cuz why not?
@Dirty Red
I’ve been on YouTube for years.
Want to do something about it?
Thought so. Find a seat.
@liammaxsmama
Cruz goes by Ted because he has to hide his Hispanic heritage around Trump’s base.
@Nuts Flexington cult of nuts
@liammaxsmama
Beto happens to be a nickname for Robert, which is O’Rourke’s actual first name. His parents called him that in childhood because he grew up in El Paso, which is mostly Hispanic.
So he may have been using a Spanish nickname to sound more Hispanic than “Robert,” while Cruz used an Anglo nickname to sound less Hispanic than “Rafael.” They both did it before having political ambition, so I don’t think it’s a big deal.
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner.
Liberty is a well armed sheep contesting the result.
@Bass Banger it’s actually a republic not liberty. But you’re message is the right one.
@Matt Barker Same thing, no?
yes thats why America was establish as a democratic republic, not a democracy!
@Ghetto Frosty thank you!!! Why can no one understand this??? Keep on chilling em
Cuomo still in Office ” Microphone Drop ” …..
When you live in reality it must be embarrassing to be a leftist nowadays
They don’t have any shame or self reflection.
@Tyler Kriesel Or morals for that matter.
@Jimmy Ritter Morals require an actual belief in something greater. Something the left can’t even seem to comprehend.
Oh no Biden loves Black people just listen to how he used to talk about them!Lady stfu! Biden does not like Black people lady! He said you can’t even afford attorneys or accountants come on now
And apparently black people can’t use the internet. Thanks for the info Biden
He claimed they didn’t even have bank accounts or ID’s.
I don’t think he said they couldn’t afford them. I believe he said they didnt even know what they were.
Biden calls black children cockroaches and his son uses the N word all the time.
BIDEN I DON’T WANT THOSE KIND OF PEOPLE NEAR MY MOTHER THOSE PEOPLE ARE BLACK
Democrats have to import Illegal immigrants into the country, because they can’t get Americans to vote for them.
They’re in for a rude awakening when they find out all the Central Americans are Red to the core. Jesus, Family and Guns.
Voter picture id is the answer
Why democrats don’t want id is beyond me.
Because they cheat
Blacks don’t know how to get an ID?? That is insulting to the black community. We all Americans have to get an ID. In all developed countries if you don’t have an ID you don’t exist.
Because they won’t be able to cheat
We do have places where getting an ID is like riding a unicycle on a slip-n-slide. It can be done, but it’s hard. ID places have been shut down, folks can’t drive/get a ride to the closest one, and (assuming getting an ID online was even an option) folks don’t have internet access. Yes, having an ID is important so it should be just a matter of going down to the local police station and getting one (if the DMV nearest you has been closed).
It’s voter suppression–against Illegals and the Dead vote
Trump got more black and latino votes than any republican ever this past election.
He got less black vote than Mitt Romney. Trump (1%) – (5%) Romney 😂😂😂
Who cares
That would be impressive, knee, except that 2020 has been the biggest voter turnout ever, whatever color you’re taking into account. Under those circumstances, it’s ratios that count
Joe got more dead voters, though!
@Guided Meditation Actually 11 million more votes. And obama got 4 million less votes his 2nd term and won. Makes since..
Not
The Democrat party has done so much for black people.. really? I’ve always been struck by their racist view that black people simply aren’t capable of making their own way. It’s pathetic really. If black people organized and split their vote they would not be taken for granted any longer.
Online spreadsheets after the 2020 selection showed hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of strong DNC/black areas and most of them showed a voter turnout of only about 15% while in nearby GOP areas the voter turnout was about 85% —- Yet they want us to believe Biden got more votes than any president in American history. Biden doesn’t like Black people and Black people don’t like Biden. It is a mutual dislike and distrust for each other. This is why so many people are not buying the results of the Machines in the 2020 selection.
Dems are much more likely to help people through setting up a Level Playing Field rather than starting out with the odds against people in a certain group or groups.
@Guided Meditation not sure of your sources so I won’t agree nor disagree with your stats. I’m just working as hard as I can to fight for voting rights for all Americans
“new book details more lies someone else told about Donald Trump”
“they didn’t vote for him…” Well weird ..I know many “blacks” that DID… and still wear the shirts and hats in support of Trump..
Oh that’s right, they don’t count right? Biden said they ain’t black for those actions..
Lmao this is so biased. And what makes it funny is the press and the Democrats try to suppress the minority and blacks the most
All this time it was the DEMS that have been suppressing and holding black people back.
Plus look up the news story where they found massive voter fraud in Beto’s district and arrested several Democrats
“Beto”. Always makes me laugh to see people fawn over this fake Hispanic.
He has a big mouth that makes him look a little like Bobby Kennedy so they thought he would be a success. Never mind his character or brains. Dems only care about looks because they know that their handlers will decide everything for them. They just need somebody to read their teleprompters.
We all know the only reason TX has Voter Suppression is because thats the only thing keeping our state “Red” when it would have been Blue by now
Why did young Beto O’Rourke’s parents have to fire their Afro-American butler? He kept calling their son Master Beto..
FYI: you literally need picture I.D. to buy dry ice and cough syrup.
