No class in WI as teachers protest union-busting governor

Why should it be harder to vote again? I think I'm missing something.

[notorious bum]

The sig is killing me right now.

The whole thing. Certain people don`t vote because they dont care, not because of lack of access. States have NEVER tried to deny any stratum of society from democratic freedoms.

ohi bullshit claim.. nice to meet you.

The Wisconsin legislature is finalizing a bill to close ten Department of Motor Vehicle centers located in Democratic districts within the state. The money saved will be used to extend operating hours at DMV centers in Republican districts. These cuts come on the heels of new voter ID laws that require voters to present a state-issued photo identification card at the poll booths.

Lack of access is literally what's happening here.

But what the fuck happens now? Is there no way to stop any of these unless judges finds each unconstitutional?

Won't be stopped by judges, Wisconsin is following the Indiana case to the letter in order to make it pass muster. Only stops if the powers that be shift and it's eliminated.

augh, this reminds me of the Lee Atwater documentary as a reminder of how horrifyingly good republicans are at winning elections. ACORN's knocked out and barring more recalls, they've already built their lead in for 2012 while ensuring it'll be even harder to repeal at the same time.

It's cool guys. Lets keep pretending voting matters in a representative government. Oh look! There are some lazy fuckers who can't vote! Outrage!

If they're trying to register to vote and are being prevented, the problem isn't laziness.

Anarcho-capitalists lol

I gotta try that when I get pulled over. Officer, you are preventing me from driving! What, ID? What kind of totalitarian state is this?

[Jaybar]

Nowhere in your rant did you even come close to arguing a point.

[guartz]

I understand, you keep hearing about democracy on TV and now you are confused about what type of government your country is.

[Kuya]

Anarcho-capitalists, almost as funny as libertarians.

[guartz]

We are better.

[Alarial]

What are the fundamental differences between Libertarians and Anarcho-capitalists?

Off hand, they seem like they want the same thing right?

Actually the appropriate analogy would be (ironically) going to the DMV to get your license for the first time and being told that you can't even get a learner's permit because you have no driving record.

It's kind of a spectrum between the two really. The less of a minarchist the libertarian is, the more they approach an anarcho-capitalist.

I see it as taking the non aggression principle to it's logical conclusion.

[Demosthenes11]

logical

Some would say to its absurd extremes.
