its logical to have voter id but any hoops to jump through to get it is a poll tax and unfair for those who dont trust the government. its gotta be forceful in some way on receiving a government id not on getting one.
as for 15, thats quite a conclusion to jump to. nobody but the most extremely partisan would tolerate that and they would be overwhelmed in the next election. unless they start forcefully rejecting the validity of elections, i'm not worried about becoming a one party state.
Likely they want to pass something that would normally seem extreme, so I'm betting this bill was shoveled out there to desensitize people. Once this fails and they introduce what they wanted to do in the first place, people will be like "oh well it's not as bad as H.R. 1"
maybe but they'll have to have something really creative to get around that whole unconstitutional bit. maybe if they make id's illegal or something.
Yeah it surprises me that they would put something in there that they legally can't do without an amendment, which involves cooperating with the states.
For voter ID I think it's only completely logical that it should be standard across the board. I mean, New York is currently requiring you to bring ID or proof of residency to get a COVID vaccine. You can vote without one, but can't get the vaccine they want everyone to take? How retarded is that?
For 15, there has already been talk that they may stack the supreme court by changing the number of justices. If they stack the house and senate too at the same time, then it's one single totalitarian regime for the next 50 years. Having a single party in control always worked so well for Russia, Germany, Iran, North Korea, China, etc.
