  • You need IDs to vote in the US as well. Most people register to vote when they get their ID, and for most people, that is your Driver’s License or State ID card. Those already have your information.

    The issues here are they are tightening the ID requirements. Most people in the US dont have passports. In addition, the changes they are making require you to have the passport match your birth certificate. If you get married and take your spouse’s last name, and have that on your passport, you now do not have a valid voter ID.

    This is an easy way to wipe off quite a lot of women, minorities, and poor people from the voting rolls.


  • You need it in the US too… you cant just rock up to a voting booth and put in your vote. You have to have your State ID, Drivers License, or Passport ready to show, and it has to be checked against the voter roll (which you register for when you get your ID) to make sure youre eligible to vote.

    The thing is that a majority of people in the US dont have passports. A majority of people in the US never even leave their own state, so they dont need one.

  • Because the current regime is worse does not make her stance better. They have not done anything that Biden did not or would not do, and she promised to continue what he was doing.

    Genocide is, or at least should be, a very clear moral issue. Either you are against it, or for it. There is no middle ground. There are more people on the liberal side who are willing to hold to their morals. They did not try to garner their base, they tried to garner the billionaires and republicans who were not fully on board with trump. Any idiot could have told them that those republicans would vote republican in the end any way. In addition, the dems rigged three primaries in a row dating back to Bernie in 2016. Biden got elected because Trump absolutely fucked covid. No one was voting for him because they thought he was a great candidate. He promised to be a one term president. That was his main line in 2020.

    2024 would have been a great time for him to step aside. He didnt. The dems did not ask for any vote to replace him in the run in, they just said here’s your choice. She did nothing but say she would continue doing everything he had done. The dems sold out themselves and the country to the billionaire class. People were mad about that. All they did was say they would keep doing it.

    Even now, they do nothing but say “oh my gosh how can we stop this”

    They enabled this to happen, and are now trying to say look we told you so, even when their own policies have shifted far to the right.

    There is no liberal or left wing party in the US. In most civilized countries, the Republicans would be considered far right extremists, and democrats would be considered right wing.

    But again, if genocide is not a place you draw the line, it is very unlikely that you will draw the line at democracy.
