These weak dick "woke" MFers better hope America, REAL America, never wakes up to take our country back. If and when we do, these "woke" pussies are going to have HELL to pay. I'm just going to leave it at that.

Why do rural people have no problem voting with ID but "urban" people cant?
I think the problem is more complicated than the identification stuff on it's own. Like in Alabama, they pass voter ID laws then dramatically cut spending to identification producing resources. Hours to get IDs are erratic now and not necessarily available when a wage worker can get to the government location.
The real obvious problem with rural v. urban is polling stations. There just are not enough of them in statewide elections in many states. It should not take hours to vote. When I was living in a rural Alabama town, I basically had a ballot as soon as I verified my identity and existence on the roll for site.
In both cases the disenfranchising action is essentially sold as government efficiency and Saving The Taxpayer money.

But that would affect everyone, correct? Not just a certain race.

Seriously. That attack on Pearl now make me like Bruce Pearl. Your attack on Wolken still makes me despise his arse.

Yes, and my argument is that the disenfranchisement is not explicitly racist. It is more or less class and geographically based. It may or may not be an accident that race ends up intersecting over these class and geography based plans. I could definitely spin it to say that essentially it ends up being the same in the US but it doesn't really matter. Schemes that tend to implicitly disenfranchise people of lower socioeconomic standing or geographic location are still wrong and a perversion of representative democracy.

But seriously, the last thing I've read that covered this in part was Rick Perlstein's Reaganland. It is really ends up being as much about the abysmal failure Carter and the Democrats in the 70s transitioning away from New Deal labor politics to corporate neoliberalism. Perlstein is very much a milquetoast centrist liberal on Twitter but I think his writing about political history is pretty good regardless because he does a good job of using the popular culture moment of the time period to explain how people were feeling and how that connects to political shifts.

Part of the problem with politics, as most tend to find as they age, is that everything is a "scheme."
But those schemes are not meant to disenfranchise any particular group, IMO, it's simply one side vying against the other for power and self-enrichment.
Categorizing us as downtrodden races, orientations, and the like only help to keep us focused on the left hand waving while the right hand is doing the dirty work.
There is no "good versus bad" politically - it's just a show.
And quite frankly it's getting exasperating to watch.

Are they not the same in "rural" areas as compared to urban areas?

Its almost like it takes longer to do things in more populated areas in comparison to less. Like driving places, checking out at the store, getting seated at a restaurant....

This isn't getting a dinner we're talking about, this is participating in the electoral process.
I mean go nuts with these weaselly ways to avoid the truth but the inevitability of this strategy is revolution. If participation in the electoral process becomes so encumbered for those in urban centers and over half of the population of this country is located in a metro area then eventually the government losses its mandate to popular sovereignty. In good times, people will let the non-representative body persist. In the bad times, they protest. In the real bad times, they start gunning down and bombing the government apparatus.
What is going on in this country with voting accessibility is myopic and will ultimately undermine the very power some are seeking to horde with these schemes. One of the best ways - maybe the only way on the longview - to maintain law and order is within the popular mandate. When enough people decided the government doesn't represent their interests, you've got problems and that is the distant future for all this mess.

Let's put it this way
Say, we have strategic locations set around each State handing out Government $ or products. Do you think anyone would have issues getting there OR obtaining an ID?

I haven’t really followed Wolken in a while, but looking through that Twitter feed, he gives off an “I’m miserable” vibe even more so now.
Receiving that sort of backlash on everything you post must wear a baw out.
Not sure why he feels the need to keep pushing any agendas, when it’s clearly not helping his popularity as a journalist. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that most sports fans aren’t woke.
It's also odd as to how much effort he puts into to tweeting about things like the LPGA, WNBA, and womens tennis when that isn't even the target demographic of the job he's paid to do. It's like he goes out of his way to outwoke himself

This is an absolute lie. Alabama voter IDs are not only free, the secretary of state’s office had mobile units that literally drive to someone’s home if they can’t go somewhere to get an id.
