How can people not see that canceling all things you don’t agree with is dangerous?

Yuge reminder:

Democrats fought against GA Republicans passing absentee voting when it passed.

Worth another share

quote:

“This bill would actually open the door wide to opportunities for voter fraud because it allows voting by mail where you present no identification whatsoever,” Democratic Secretary of State Cathy Cox said in an Atlanta Journal-Constitution article. “So those parts of the bill really don’t jive in my mind in terms of any real effort to crack down on what someone perceives to be voting fraud.” “By removing restrictions related to mailed absentee ballots, HB 244 opens a greater opportunity for fraud,” former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, then a Democratic state senator, wrote in an op-ed. “Skeptics might point out that absentee voters have historically voted for Republicans in higher numbers.” Leading Democrats when Republicans passed absentee voting.


Stacey Abrams cried fraud when she lost the GA election and NEVER would concede. Not just suppression all kinds of things she claimed..with little basis.

Think of all the black and brown people negatively impacted by this reckless mlb decisions. It’s racist to deny these low wage workers their chance of financial equality

It is a gross overestimate.

Screw them. They are a pimple on Georgia's butt.

The media is gonna hand them complete control of this country over lies. Then what?

They should be ashamed of crying suppression where it doesn’t exist.

All because Stacey Abrams can't accept that she isn't governor.

Ive seen these formulas for marketing of events many times. You take the expenditure (this includes high profile stars spending thousands on jets, private parties, suites, limos etc., the executives and all the TV, media, tech crews, and then the average joe, many who will come to town for the event and not actually have tickets...all of the aforementioned hotel rooms, restaurant meals, booze at bars, souvies for the event.

You take this number and multiply by seven for the trickle down effect. George who works at the hotel will then buy groceries, Jill who works at the grocery will then go to dinner, Bob the waiter at her restaurant will go to the movies...etc. etc.

My point is, its far more than some people buying some tickets for the event.

I do hope people boycott all of baseball, its one thing to make a statement and put Jackie Robinson in the league, quite another to support voter fraud.

Sure, but I can't help but marvel at it.

They didn't just grandstand. They were putting screws to people all over the place to make things like this happen. They are so incredibly powerful now.

It'll be wild when they use Republicans blocking the new infrastructure bill as justification to remove the filibuster. You may as well shed far right wingers and form a new party.

Why would you concede when the person in charge of the election was also a candidate in that election?

Atlanta is like 40-45% black? Why does the MLB hate blacks so much?

The MLB finance guys are raciss. I will not support a raciss organization like the MLB. I'm done with them.

You honestly think she was going to be given a fair chance with those stakes against her?

It's like the statement we used to make with our siblings when younger: Heads I win / Tails you lose.

Controlling your electorate using the media. Pretty sure we have seen that somewhere before.

Lower wage workers would have still been paid low wages.

I'm glad it's going to cost Atlanta and I hope they lose the SEC title game to. They voted democrat. They got it.

There is such a rich and amusing irony at play here, elections have consequences. Maybe they need to bust another water pipe to find some more democrat votes, it's working so well for them after all.

As per usual they get the voters to do their bidding and then proceed to dump all over them.
