You are asking for people, who know their opposition is heavily armed and regularly talks about finding reasons to show that fact, to go out there with nothing to defend themselves. Instigating violence? Sure I get what you are aiming to prevent there. But to prohibit defense? Sorry I'm over this.

It's hopelessly foolish to superimpose your ideals of the future on current reality. And when you are talking about an issue that has existed and been attempted to be remediated for literal decades, where one side has made it clear they won't disarm, you are asking for people to die.

No, it wouldn't have. You are asking people on your side to make themselves defenseless against groups that do not care about your message & actively want those voicing agreement with 50501 to die. The fault lies on the person who brought the AR-15, and that person isn't going to listen to the opp

What im seeing is "we agree we need to do more manufacturing domestically, but we desperately need to raise the safety and working conditions for people working those jobs so that they are incentivizes to join and don't... I dunno die on the job or complications from working on a factory"

XD it literally had "independence", "statehood" and "free association" as potential voting options. They had the option to pick independence but decided not to vote and give the statehood voters a bigger spread. That's on y'all for not voting thinking it was some grand stand.

You act like a group coming from another group means it's just that group. You're actually delusional. Good bye. Blocking and purging you off my page now. I'm actively losing brain cells talking to you.

And no, I did read that graph, where it shows the majority voted for statehood. 14% isn't the majority. In a democratic vote that wouldn't even tip the scales. And I know a bit about that being a trans person in America right now.

You said the progressives didn't vote for it. They literally did. by your logic, the Republicans I'm complaining about aren't conservative like you keep windging about. Republicans *were* our progressive party until the party switch in 1912.

Yeah you can shit the fuck up on this one too. It's literally not and you're just making shit up for the sake of it.

-pulls a no true scottsman fallacy-
Yeah, shut the fuck up and get off my thread before I just banish you myself. They literally did. In your own country. Your own progressive party praised the referendum vote *last year* that resulted in people wanting statehood.

Cuz if you bothered to *ask* before making an assumption, you'd know I'm very against American colonialism with regard to PR, Guam, Okinawa, etc. But you don't know, because you don't know me, and now get to look like a dumbass. Have fun with that. I'll go about my life forgetting you exist soon.

Also, funny you think I support anything when I have stated *nothing* to that affect. *You* commented on *my* thread about how American racism is why PR has been in limbo for decades while Alberta jokingly suggested to join the US and Republicans are jumping at it.

It's literally not because conservative means drastically different things dependant on where you are. There is no definition of a conservative action outside of "maintaining status quo". Which is the literal opposite of progressive, or moving onwards.

If ya don't like it, cool, we agree on *something*. But frankly people like you from both sides claiming their woes are the fault of the side they don't like are annoying and bring nothing to the table. It won't address the whole issue if you only care about half the people doing it.
comment in response to

Still not. The fact you had to attempt to define your original statement because there is no lie in my reply to you shows that. Progressives and conservatives both sign off on it every time it comes to be. Happened with Alaska, happened to Hawaii, happened to literally every state we have.

Like, I'm honestly sick of this "everything bad is the other side! We are spotless!". Like let's get real. *Politicians* are gonna politic, and we need to remind them they serve their people on their soil above anything else. That disregard is how 90% of our history has unfolded.

Mmmmm maybe over there in PR but over here statehood is intrinsic to the constitution. It's legitimacy neither bends to the will of Reps or Dems. It's something they all have to agree on for it to even happen. Dems agreed to make y'all a territory. Dems agreed to make Okinawa a base. (Cont. Below)

Not the discussion I'm having. You can go take that to someplace where that discussion is happening. That's a whole other can of worms I'm not getting into here. But needless to say, both statements can be true. Those territories need to be let go, and the reason Reps care about Alberta is racial.

American Republicans think Canadians are white lumberjacks that drink maple syrup. They want more of that because it aligns with how they want America to look. but God forbid those brown people in territories WE SEIZED finally get to vote related to the government that controls them. Pathetic.

XD I feel that. North Carolinians just start crumpling when the temp drops below 30F. What's funny is, we have snow plows because we get snow enough to warrant it, but snow is infrequent enough for them to completely forget how to use them when snow comes. And they always forget to salt the roads.

Oh, there's always a bit of flooding. I know that storm last year did a big number on the folks out in the western part of the state, but luckily out towards where I'm at mostly just dealt with power outages. Surprisingly, the snow a couple months ago was worse XD

Yeah... Honestly. I proudly tout an "unaffiliated" card. The nasty looks I get for not committing to either face of the devil itself. I'm not gonna join some fan club for voting. It makes no sense. When did politics become a game of football with people cheering one side no matter what they do?

The DMV for my state directly states what you need in addition to what citizens need to be eligible for the real ID, which is a visa, PR card, a Green Card, or other legal document confirming legal residency), which id be willing to share the page I'm sourcing this from.
comment in response to

That's understandable, but the need for a birth certificate or CRBA is only for your legal name and date of birth. You don't actually need either if you have a US passport, an unexpired foreign passport, or an existing real ID (for a licence with real ID clearance). (Cont. Below)

Of course! I'm just an autistic dude that has been hyperfixating on what's going on since like.... 90% of this directly affects me as an AFAB trans person.

I just feel like they make it unnecessarily difficult for residents to have the proper ID for a given situation. They *could* literally have one ID where any relevant state or fed documents are linked to one card. No need for separate cards if one can pull up all the info quickly and reliably.
comment in response to

As an example, already, if you have or had a state ID, it will (prob) be the same number as your drivers license, and law enforcement can look up your licence even if you only present them an ID (assuming you have the former).Just add voter ID and that info to a larger database for voting booth use.
comment in response to
post
I get where you are coming from, but at that stage, the federal and state governments have the ability to make a consolidated database that contains information known across all forms of ID, so that using one to verify yourself would allow the person verifying to see all of your docs (cont. Below)

If our society can't even function without them here, they deserve a voice in government. The government is fine working them to death under the threat of losing everything. Legal, illegal, all terminology made by Uncle Sam to tell us who to hate now. Be better than this America. I'm losing hope.

Oh yeah, and further adding on to my own thread, formerly convicted individuals who do not have the right to vote are still required to have a real ID as the non-real IDs are no longer being issued by the states. They would also have "proof of ability to vote" while being a demographic that's barred

Real ID, on the other hand, just confirms you are a person that's supposed to be in the US and have the documents to prove it. It doesn't even require you to be a citizen of the US to have. Just permanent resident status, which you can't vote with. So real ID is not an indicator you're able to vote.

Voter ID cards clearly display your zip code, district, voting location, and voter affiliation, which some states require you to present to receive a certain ballot. Unless they plan to make states repeal those requirements, voter ID cards are still needed to receive the correct ballot (Cont. Below)

No, there's a minor distinction that makes it ineligible. Real ID is a system designed to expedite entering federal government buildings as a citizen, including not not limited to domestic and international ports of entry. The information gathered is different from voter ID. (Cont. Below)

Can't kill what isn't alive, much less call it innocent. Would you call the inanimate wind innocent? Even though it is carrying pollution, nuclear fallout, as well as invasive migratory species to our populations, slowly killing us? That's not the behavior of something innocent, but it's natural.

Go raid the clearance sections. Just the other day I saw unopened shelf boxes of dr.squatch soap that was just discounted because it was the Star wars soap bars from Christmas. items in the clearance section are often anywhere from 50-75% off MSRP, which itself is based on profitability for a store.
