    You think disenfranchising and oppressing minorities after so many years of oppression is just optics? Wow

      Please work on reading comprehension. Gop is going overdrive to do those things because they don’t care of the optics of how bad it looks.

        Maybe you should take your own advice and reread my question. If voting doesn’t matter, why would the GOP go into overdrive to stop it?

              Almost like they’re so racist they want to have the lesser races (in their minds) completely under the like back in the good old days.

              It has nothing to do with if voting has an effect just so they can put the boot down harder on people.

                  Vote DNC they might let you kick the ball.

                  Vote Republican they are going to kick you and your friends.

                  Vote third party, get to watch people play with the ball without you.

                  Don’t vote, get to watch people play the ball without you.

                  Sorry, but as things are, yeah, sucks, but given the four options…

                  Going back to your earlier points, you already admitted it doesn’t. Just gives the appearance of it. The GOP removing voting abilities from minorities is just to help get them to believe like in the olden days they’re superior. Just like having segregated areas it’s just to show appearance of power.

                  GOP doesn’t care how bad it makes them look as it may give them more support from their extremely racist base

                    And the support from the base is directly tied to the votes they need to get into power.

                    I didn’t admit voting was useless, the point of those is that voting has power, and you have to choose carefully how you use that power. Are you going to have the sword directly to your enemies, let them take it, or use it against them?

                    If you’re tired of fighting at least don’t try to have other people give up the good fight.
