NEW YORK—The Trump administration and its radical right foot-soldiers in the federal government and in the states are undertaking a comprehensive scheme to undermine future state and federal elections, in effect rigging the rolls to keep themselves in power no matter what the voters decide.

    All that did was enable more genocide. Congratulations, all the shit ICE is doing is your fault.

      Dude, didn’t you see their instance? They’re a tankie. They were never ‘refusing to vote for genocide’. They were always holding their vote in the hope that the evil US would destroy itself so Generous China and Glorious Mother Russia could take their place as the true and noble world leaders.

      Just ignore them.

          The image isn’t idiotic; it just isn’t making the point he thinks it is. Look at the slope of the line, not the area under the curve.

            I meant the fact that it disproves his point, but fair enough. I’m getting worked up and should step away for a bit.

              A reasonable slip of the keyboard, in the heat of the moment.

              Anyway, for posterity here’s the chart being referenced, since the guy posting it got banned and his comment removed:

              chart

              I think it’s actually a pretty useful chart to keep around for the information it’s actually conveying (as opposed to how the banned commenter was trying to misrepresent it) Glad I copied it from his other comment when I had the chance, LOL.

                Just an explanation for anyone else, Biden started his term with a higher rate of deaths (steeper slope) and finished with a lower right (shallower slope) thanks for showing the removed graph!

      The genocide is bipartisan.

      Also… do you think you’re innocent? That you’re absolved of this country’s crimes?

      Do you think that all you need to do is vote for a Democrat and you can wash your hands?
