The BLM statement is obviously insane, and backing a convicted felon who framed imaginary MAGA hat wearers with paid Nigerian actors in an effort to stoke racial animosity, while attacking Chicago police and saying nothing about what's actually killing black people in Chicago, kind of discredits their organization.

The BLM statement is obviously insane, and backing a convicted felon who framed imaginary MAGA hat wearers with paid Nigerian actors in an effort to stoke racial animosity, while attacking Chicago police and saying nothing about what's actually killing black people in Chicago, kind of discredits their organization. But FFS NYC, what are you doing allowing non-citizens to vote? For years, Republican voters have been in a tizzy over non-citizens voting, encouraged and enabled by Democrats as a way to gain and maintain political power, and we've always told them they're out of their minds insane, this is not happening, and anyone telling you it is is a liar. This is going to run at 8pm on Fox every night for the foreseeable future, and Tucker won't be wrong.
You may want to read my post above with excerpts from democracy docket explanation. NYC is the largest- but not the first nor the only part of US to give limited voting rights to certain non citizens
I appreciate your efforts to provide nuance to the policy. But the unfortunate fact is that there is a headline, in the Washington Post, not the Washington Examiner, that says NYC becomes the largest municipality to allow non-citizens to vote in local elections. I tend to view everything primarily through a political lens, because I really view GOP election wins as a threat to the survival of our republic. It may be a defensible policy, but unfortunately, I think that's beside the point. We need to make it through this next 4-8 years, and own-goals are not helping.
ok - I understand that whether or not you would agree with the underlying decision about allowing these people to vote - you think the decision to do so at this time becomes a valuable weapon for the far right. I see your point. And hate that this is what we have come to.
