  2.  @Mark-db8id  Democracy doesn't mean "mob rule". Democracy has safeguards for the rights of the minority. Democracy isn't, contrary to the rightie meme, two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner, but two sheep and one wolf voting on what isn't.

  5. That's going too far. I'm inclined to forgive the people who voted for him in 2016. They bought the hype, they didn't like Hillary, they wanted to send a message, etc, etc, etc. But voting for him again in 2020, no, not after seeing what he was.

  10. The ID isn't to prove your age or your citizenship. You do that when you REGISTER to vote. The ID just proves that you're YOU and a college ID does that just as well as any other government-issued ID does.
