LMAO While the angry little corporate financial executive (who apparently hated this US capitalist ****hole enough to immigrate and work here) types on his Apple and sips his cappuccino. And has Bobo adjust the AC, since the temperature's a bit balmy outside now. Sheer genius. Guess you missed the whole ****ing in the tarps while watching porn on Iphones Occupy Wall Street anarchist bull****, huh? Or did you just notice they accomplished little by trying to piss in the dog bowl?

Hey Mr. I Can Run The World Properly, did you notice the stupid idiots standing in the rain and snow in Wisconsin in your fair and balanced NY Times link above, casting their useless ****ing primary votes? Bet you just sniffed and spit up at the pic of the ignorant ******* old lady standing there, using a walker.
You would have a hell of a lot more credibility, if you actually served this country in some capacity before running your bunched panties up the flagpole to destroy everything. I didn't get to live in a communistj-run state. I've just got family that served and fought and died for your ability to cast your "useless vote".

I have a better idea for you. Move to Iceland. Get elected, and take over the world from there, Brain. I hear the flights are really cheap now.

Don't worry people like meloshouldgo are only good talking sht. Otherwise they are useless.
When their uneventful pathetic life is over there is nothing left. No wealth, no ideas, no inventions, and no trace.
But they do shake the world in their little bulb like head and lead the crowds to the promised lands.
Little reality show for yourself...

I've got to admit, reading his pathetic anarchistic rants everyday almost makes social distancing seem worthwhile. What fun. Iceland... we ruined Iceland. LOL

And when this thread gets boring or overly tedious, there's always the "All Hail Number 34" thread to re-visit. LMAO

And when he gets called on his end-game plan, he ****s himself.

Fun stuff.

Example 1: Even when your party gets 53% of the popular vote they get 36% of the seats in Wisconsin due to gerrymandering and vote suppression and the Governor is neutered before he even takes his oath

Back in 2018, Wisconsin’s electorate voted strongly for Democratic control. Voters chose a Democratic governor, and gave 53 percent of their support to Democratic candidates for the State Assembly. But the state is so heavily gerrymandered that despite this popular-vote majority, Democrats got only 36 percent of the Assembly’s seats.

And far from trying to reach some accommodation with the governor-elect, Republicans moved to effectively emasculate him, drastically reducing the powers of his office.

Example 2: Now they are holding elections when urban areas are in full lock down and rural areas are not. This was backed by the SC, who have elected to work from home by the way.

Yet Wisconsin, like most of the country, is under a stay-at-home order. So why did Republican legislators, eventually backed by the Republican appointees to the U.S. Supreme Court, insist on holding an election as if the situation were normal?

The answer is that the state shutdown had a much more severe impact on voting in Democratic-leaning urban areas, where a great majority of polling places were closed, than in rural or suburban areas. So the state G.O.P. was nakedly exploiting a pandemic to disenfranchise those likely to vote against it.

So tell me what did the voters who came out in large numbers during the last election cycle in Wisconsin get from it? And why would they want to do it again?
And according the Russian troll, this is the greatest civilization on earth with a system of checks and balances and protection of human rights. Can't make this sh!t up.

They look to supress votes election after election for a reason. So voting doesn't matter, but they also look for any possible angle to supress votes as if it mattered?

Wisconsin state lawmakers were met with an emergency protest at the state capitol on Monday ahead of a vote to wrestle power away from Democrat Tony Evers, who defeated GOP Governor Scott Walker in last month's midterm election. Republicans have also targeted the state's incoming Democratic attorney general — who campaigned on removing Wisconsin from a lawsuit filed by red states against the Affordable Care Act — and voters in the state, with proposals to drastically cut down on early voting, as The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports:

https://www.wpr.org/groups-file-suit-overturn-lame-duck-session-laws

A group of plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in Dane County Circuit Court Thursday that aims to overturn all of the measures Wisconsin Republicans passed in a lame-duck session last month, arguing the entire session was unconstitutional.

The plaintiffs, who include The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin, Disability Rights Wisconsin, Inc., and Black Leaders Organizing For Communities, also contend Republicans acted unlawfully when they voted to approve 82 last-minute appointments by former Republican Gov. Scott Walker.

At the crux of their argument is the procedural step GOP leaders used to call the Legislature into session at a time when lawmakers would have otherwise been adjourned for the rest of the year.

Republicans passed the laws and appointments in the early morning of Dec. 5, 2018 during an "extraordinary" session, which is a session called for by legislative leaders. The parameters for extraordinary sessions are laid out in the Legislature's rules.

https://www.vox.com/2019/3/22/18277195/wisconsin-republican-lame-duck-power-grab-court-evers

Evers and Attorney General Josh Kaul were handed a huge, albeit temporary, win in the court this week, when a judge blocked Republicans’ lame-duck power grab aimed at limiting Democrats’ newfound power in the state.

State Republicans passed a slate of bills in December curbing Evers’s ability to change policies around welfare, health care, and economic development, as well as limiting the attorney general’s powers, while former Republican Gov. Scott Walker was still in office. Among other provisions, the laws blocked Evers’s power to expand Medicaid coverage, stopped Kaul from withdrawing the state from a lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act, and stripped Evers’s authority over key executive branch appointments.

https://www.npr.org/2019/01/17/686327659/federal-judge-strikes-down-lame-duck-changes-to-wisconsin-voting-laws

Liberal advocacy group One Wisconsin Now joined with the National Redistricting Foundation, an arm of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee headed by former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, to argue that the new restrictions violated a 2016 federal ruling on election laws in Wisconsin. The groups appealed to the judge in that case, Judge James Peterson of the Western District of Wisconsin, to block the new law.

Peterson issued a favorable ruling for the groups on Thursday afternoon.

"This is not a close question," Peterson wrote in his decision.

The judge also struck down a law passed during the lame duck session that requires a 2-year expiration date on student IDs used for identification at the polls, as well as a law that limits the use of receipts as valid voter identification for individuals who are involved in a sometimes lengthy process of getting a valid ID without a birth certificate.

Analiese Eicher, program director at One Wisconsin Now, lauded Peterson's decision as a victory for Wisconsin voters.

"We saw voters respond incredibly when voting was expanded in Wisconsin - voters stepped up, they saw the ability to vote and they voted," she said.

Eicher said the ruling will allow communities to continue to provide "the kinds of voting experiences that they need."
