Comments by "Marcus W" (@Mawyou) on "Chuck Schumer RIPS Mitch McConnell after GOP blocks voting rights bill" video.

  1. Actually the bill closed the door on corruption. One of its new rules was forcing dark money into the light. Aside from that, all it did was ban partisan gerrymandering and make it easier to vote. And an amendment was added to to enforce national voter ID. But Republicans are still against it because this bill would have enforced fairness. But Republicans don't want fairness. Why would Republicans want fairness when they can't win the popular vote? Republicans NEED the game to be unfair, or they will be forced to moderate their policies and move to the center to keep winning elections.

  2. Limiting mail in voting, shortening early voting, eliminating automatic and same day voter registration, curbing the use of ballot drop boxes, and allowing for more aggressive means to remove people from the voter rolls. Also allowing partisan state legislatures to take over state election boards if they don't like the results.

  3. Well maybe Donald Trump Jr. and half the people in Trump's 2016 campaign shouldn't have met with Russian officials before the election (and lied about it) and we wouldn't have accused him of colluding with Russia. That accusation didn't come out of thin air ya know. Not to mention when he fired the FBI director and obstructed the Mueller investigation (what innocent person does that?). And let's not forget when he made the traitorous move of siding with Putin over his own American intelligence agencies. And beyond that, you have no room to complain, since just 3 years later Trump got impeached for trying to collude with Ukraine to tamper with the 2020 election. CORRUPT

  4. Making it easier to vote in a democracy is the right thing to do. How do Republicans live with themselves lying about fraud in the 2020 election and making it harder for people to vote? Seeking power at any cost. Republicans have nothing offer America. Against everything, and for nothing, yet they will do ANYTHING to get power with a minority of the country's support.

  5. All this bill does is make it easier for black and brown people to vote. Why would we want more people voting in elections? We just need to reinstall Trump. Later this year hopefully

  6. The new bill has voter ID included. But Republicans still blocked it because they want to maintain partisan gerrymandering and reduced voting hours.

  8. No that's not true. This bill was specifically meant to get rid of dark money and gerrymandering, two of the main things that prevent our government from operating effectively. Republicans, the anti-government party, do not want, nor do they benefit from, the government operating effectively. Accusing both parties of being the same is a HUGE false equivalence. One party has lots of ideas. The other party has no ideas, but will do anything to scare people into stopping the idea party.

  9.  @angellarios4802  We need more political parties in the US. The two-party system is too adversarial. Especially when the party with less support is willing to do literally anything to beat the party that has more support.
    2
  10.  @angellarios4802  I'm not sure what you mean by "playing people for their own benefit." The whole point of a political party is to garner enough support to form a governing coalition that can win elections. The problem is, Republicans have gone down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories and authoritarianism. They don't have popular policies so they scare people into voting for them because the Democrats are "evil socialists who want to take your freedoms". Republicans are against everything, and for nothing. Meanwhile Democrats just want to pass some laws they think will help people.

  11. The new bill has voter ID in it. But Republicans still blocked it because they don't want to ban partisan gerrymandering. What more can you expect form the party that can win the popular vote?

  15.  @motosotarc5347  If everyone has the same ability to vote no matter what, then why are Republican states doing the following: Limiting mail in voting, shortening early voting, eliminating automatic and same day voter registration, curbing the use of ballot drop boxes, and allowing for more aggressive means to remove people from the voter rolls. Also allowing partisan state legislatures to take over state election boards if they don't like the results. The answer in clear. It's pure ruthless partisanship. Then you try to blame us for not "adjusting".
    1
  16.  @motosotarc5347  Okay I get it. It's not a race thing. So I will ask you again. If the point is not to stop Democrats from voting, why are Republicans doing it? Seems counterproductive to make it harder to vote if it affects both parties equally. And after 7 months, Republicans still have not found a shred of evidence of fraud. So WHY are they making it harder to vote? And why are they shortening voting hours? And why now? What changed between this year and two years ago that made Republicans think voting was too easy?

  17.  @motosotarc5347  Massive voter fraud? Really? So if the media isn't reporting it, how do you know there was massive voter fraud? 🤔 Please be specific, I want to see documentation.
    1
  18.  @motosotarc5347  I see one of them, but nothing about voter fraud. Here's a question for you. Why hasn't all this voter fraud been reported to law enforcement? It is a felony after all. The Texas governor even put out a ransom for uncovering fraud. No fraud found. You've got 74 million Trump supporters on a 7 month crusade looking for voter fraud and no arrests. Courts threw out every case. Republican elections officials said the count was accurate. Trump Justice Department said there was no widespread fraud. But you are going to believe a youtube video because it tells you what you want to hear. Smh. Don't you realize how ridiculous that is? You even had Liz Cheney, a staunch conservative, fired because she told Republicans to stop lying. Wow

  19.  @motosotarc5347  Yea that's exactly what every conspiracy theorist on earth would say. "The truth will come out!" Lol. That's your logic. You've got to be kidding me. So I'll ask you this: if the truth is not "out" yet, what makes you think YOU know the truth? You don't. It's shoot first ask questions later. Lord help these Republican fortune tellers.
    1
  20.  @motosotarc5347  Yes we will certainly see lol. Absolutely nothing will happen because the facts simply are not on your side. It's not that hard to understand. Your hopes and dreams don't make it true. Your faith does not make it true. You're like a 30 year old who still believes in Santa Claus. Four years from now you'll still be saying the election was "stolen" and you'll still be looking for evidence to back it up. Like a crazy person crying wolf.

  21.  @motosotarc5347  1st you said there was fraud then you said the truth will come out. and now you're saying there was fraud again. make up your mind.

  22.  @motosotarc5347  The fortune teller. You've been saying that for 8 months. I'm rolling my eyes. Just yesterday in Michigan, a committee of Republicans came out and blasted Trump and his allies for spreading the lie. They ran an 8 month long audit and investigation. Not a shred of fraud found. Don't believe me, Google it. Or use DuckDuckGo for all I care. All the evidence keeps telling you NO, but you keep trying to force some imaginary reality. Pull yourself together.
    1
  23.  @motosotarc5347  What does it say about you that you're holding out for some breakthrough investigation that says there was fraud, yet you ignore numerous investigations that say there was no fraud. Selectively hearing? Bias? Confusion? What is it?
    1
  24.  @motosotarc5347  Yay you finally found "real" evidence of the fraud you said you had evidence of 8 months ago. Which means the last 8 months have been nothing but lies. By the way, did you find evidence of 7 million illegal votes or are you and the other "real Americans" still trying to enforce minority rule on the rest of us?

  25.  @motosotarc5347  Yea good luck with that 👍

  26.  @motosotarc5347  Oh yeah? And what's your source for that info. You should have no problem providing a specific source or two since you have such specific details.
    1
  27.  @motosotarc5347  Yea, after they just kicked out the Republican leading the count because he admitted the audit count was very close to the original. Don't assume I missed that news.
    1
  28.  @motosotarc5347  Always another excuse. So what that means is there is a pre-planned result for the audit. If you don't tow the line, you get removed. Interesting way to run a nonpartisan audit.

  29.  @motosotarc5347  Got a source for that or is that from a fake news website? Just tell me the name of the outlet. And it better not be the only site on the internet reporting it.

  32.  @judymartin3416  This new bill actually requires voter ID and Republicans were still against it. The Joe Manchin compromise. What reason do you have to be against this other than the fact that you prefer unfairness
    1
  33.  Robert Hunt  Democrats are NOT relying on the courts. The court told them they have to pass a law to stop gerrymandering and that's what they are trying to do. But Republicans won't let it happen. Shameless Pretty ironic that the party that obesesses over the courts overturning Roe vs Wade is accusing others of being obsessed with the courts

  34. Power grab? All this bill does is make it easier to vote, ban partisan gerrymandering, and get rid of dark money. It even includes voter ID now thanks to Joe Manchin, but Republicans still blocked it! This makes it exceedingly clear that Republicans do not want election integrity. They just don't want Democrats to vote.
    1
  35.  @mkhud50n  I guess I don't understand how making it easy for people to vote and banning partisan gerrymandering is a "power grab." Only an unpopular party would say that. (Democrats even included national voter ID at the last minute, but Republicans are still against it). The only thing I can take away from this is that Republicans know they can't win a majority if every eligible voter casts a vote. So rather than moderate their policies, they have decided to close off voting access to the Democrat base.
    1
  36.  @judymartin3416  That's because most of the Republican priorities can be accomplished even with the filibuster in place. All they care about is judges, tax cuts, and shrinking government. The only things the filibuster blocks them from doing are banning abortion and building a wall. However, Democrats have a long list of stuff that is blocked by the filibuster because it involves entirely new ideas and policies. And it is impossible to get 60 votes in this polarized political climate. Basically the filibuster harms Democrats much more than it harms Republicans. The only reason they are afraid to nuke it is because they are afraid Republicans will chop down everything they ever built if they come back into power. Republicans hold many structural advantages that allow them to win elections without having majority support and that (for obvious reasons) terrifies Democrats.
    1
  37. First of all, the bill just put forward by Democrats includes national voter ID. They changed it at the last minute to add that requirement. So Republicans now have ABSOLUTELY no reason to oppose it other than the fact that it prevents them from closing off voter access to Democrat voters. Why do you keep on bringing up fraud? The entire Republican Party has just decided they are going to accuse others of fraud whenever they feel like it. Yet 7 months later, you're still looking for the evidence. It's so backwards. Long story short, Republicans have turned authoritarian and don't think Democrats (or black people) should be allowed to vote.
    1
  38. And yet, 7 months later Republicans are still trying to find evidence to prove this cheating you speak of. You had every single court case thrown out. I don't know how millions of people can fall for such an obvious con. It all boils down to Republicans hating how much the country is diversifying. They fear cultural change and will do whatever it takes to stop it.

  39.  @mistyprater2777  So you're saying Trump did not hold government money as ransom to force Ukraine to hurt Biden's campaign? Because that sounds pretty impeachable to me (no matter what Biden's son may or may not have done)

  41.  @another4778  I'm saying that we are cracking down on mail in and early voting and we are shortening voting hours. And we're getting rid of thosr fraudulent ballot drop boxes. Apparently black and brown people in cities like to use those and the longer hours to vote. So now the Democrats are forcing it down our throats because they want more people voting. I really think it's better for less people to vote since it helps Republicans.
    1
  42.  @another4778  And what's worse is Democrats want to ban partisan gerrymandering. Why? They should have won more states and they wouldn't be complaining. It's not our responsibility to play fair. It's our responsibility to win. Now they want to force "fairness" down our throats. It's completely bogus since Dems know they have more people since they run the blue cities like Chicago and New York and Houston. Hopefully Chicago and Houston don't vote. Could you imagine.
    1
  43.  @another4778  Nothing to campaign on? They campaign on equality. Its a pretty simple concept. Republicans basically feel that anyone who isn't rich deserves to struggle since they didn't work hard enough. And you call yourself the "religious party." No thank you! I learned as a kid not to value cruelness as a virtue. The religious party values capitalism above all else. Not even realizing the blatant hypocrisy

  44.  @another4778  "Pander to minorities" says they guy in the majority. White supremacist much. It's obvious you think your values are more important. You make comments like but then get upset when people call out the obvious racist undertones. You think you're better than them. The culture is passing you up. But I guess that's why you're fighting so hard. But change is inevitable. Why would you choose to be the bad guy?

  45.  @another4778  You want to know where the root of inequality lies. It lies in neighborhood and educational segregation. Education and where you grow up has a HUGE bearing on where you end up in life. Democrats would love to fix that inequality. How much you wanna bet that Republicans would be against it? You don't even support college affirmative action. Are you going to support letting kids from the inner-city go to the state's top high schools? How about giving MORE money to under-performing schools instead of less. Do you support that? Probably not. Is there any better example of structural racism than neighborhood and educational segregation? Wonder how they ended up that way in the first place 🤔

  46. It's not deceptive. Making it easier for people to vote in a democracy is FOR THE PEOPLE. Banning gerrymandering so that politicians can not longer choose their voters is FOR THE PEOPLE. Getting dark money out of politics is FOR THE PEOPLE. This new bill even includes national voter ID just to show how ridiculous the Republican position is. It has become quite clear that Republicans don't care about election integrity. They care about rigging the system by gerrymandering and by blocking Democrats from voting. Anything to keep winning with a minority of the nation's support. And they justify it by lying about the 2020 election.

  47.  @mkhud50n  Who cares how many "counties" Trump won? Counties don't vote. People do. Dumb argument. Wow. I didn't even bring up race. That was the first thing that came to your mind when I mentioned generrymanding and voter suppression is accusing black people of just wanting free money 😬. Check yoself. Sounds like racial bias is a strong part of your politics.
    1
  48.  @mkhud50n  First, no one cares how many empty counties voted for Trump. Second, it is not racist to give black people what they ask for, an open ear to voice their concerns. Republicans certainly have no problem giving white conservatives what they ask for. By your logic, Republicans are taking advantage of white conservatives by blaming all their problems on immigration.
    1
  49.  @mkhud50n  And don't think I missed your roundabout way of calling an entire race lazy and welfare-addicted. Laziness and welfare didn't get George Floyd killed under a white cop's knee. And what was the Republican response? Spent all of 2020 complaining about Antifa and Black Lives Matter. Black people are upset and take it to the streets. Republicans: "You can't can't protest in the streets. You're rioting!" How about protesting silently? Republicans: "Colin Kaepernick is disrespecting America. Fire him!" But feel free to blame it all on welfare if that makes you feel good.
    1
  50.  @mkhud50n  Yes, black people are more conservative and religious. But Republicans treat them like bumbling idiots, rather than listening to their concerns. Not a great way to win them over. Disrespecting the first black president with birtherism didn't help. Not to mention that all the avowed white supremacist groups today are Republicans. Btw, you logic doesn't explain why the majority of Asian and Jewish Americans also support Democrats. Usually they do much better than average on the economic spectrum, so you can't explain it away with welfare.
    1
  51.  @mkhud50n  If Democrats only win votes with welfare, then how come the majority of Asian and Jewish Americans vote for Democrats too? I'm pretty sure you don't have a good answer for that. But nice try.

  52.  @mkhud50n  The guy supporting the party that is 90 percent white is accusing the diverse party of being racist against minorities. Lol. That's a new one. And I guess Barack Obama secretly doesn't like black and brown people. Lol But whatever floats your boat. Trolling is apparently your greatest virtue. Who needs common sense when you can be a troll

  60.  @another4778  And what does that have to do with Republicans rigging the system to make it harder for Democrats to vote? If Democrats are winning the war of ideas, maybe you should come up with winning ideas rather than making it harder for people to vote 🤷‍♂️ Seems strange for the party that falsely accused Democrats of cheating (and still looking for evidence to prove it 7 months later) would decide that it's a good idea to cheat to win future elections. Can you explain the logic behind that?
