Mark Robinson, the controversial and socially conservative Republican nominee for governor of North Carolina, made a series of inflammatory comments on a pornography website’s message board more than a decade ago, in which he referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” and expressed support for reinstating slavery, a CNN KFile investigation found.
Okay, so this was about your ego the whole time, got it.
I one time, in 2016, stood in a line to vote in a caucus primary for over 4 hours. We were crammed in a gym because turnout was so unexpected and huge, and it took another 2 hours once everyone was inside to actually finish voting. This doesnt even get into registration issues which they said were “just glitches,” but meant people still couldnt vote. People who were disabled had to leave because they couldn’t physically endure the voting process. People in wheelchairs had to leave - couldnt get off their ass ig, like you said. Laziness, that classist ableist chestnut. People who had kids and jobs also had to leave because they literally didn’t have alternatives and could not afford alternatives. Lazy parents and workers.
I remember feeling stunned as I watched voters leave. “Wow, this is voting suppression in action,” I realized. People had to go back to work or they’d be fired. They literally couldn’t physically vote. That was the entire intent of how the votes were set up. It was genuinely stunning. And the people leaving were angry too, they wanted to vote.
And there you are, you blame the people who were victims of this? Just because you enjoy feeling superior? Really helpful for your cause. Sorry the disabled grandma in a wheelchair needed her insulin and had to go home.
It’s not about your entitlement to their actions or the public’s entitlement to someone’s actions. It’s about individuals being able to enforce their rights and their voice and their autonomy - THAT’S why people should vote. Not because they owe anyone else anything, but because they owe themselves that right.
You’re literally mimicking abusive relationships by using fear, obligation, guilt, and shame to force behavior. And then wonder why people don’t like Dem messaging.
