It's just typical GOP bullshit.
"When trump won, you questioned the results, this is just us doing the SAME THING".
Nevermind the fact that the focus of the questioning wasn't on the votes themselves (most people generally agreed the votes themselves were correctly calculated) but rather that a foreign government had deliberately attempted to sway voters in our presidential election and people involved with the trump campaign knew about this interference and even attempted to coordinate the release of false information from certain sources.
So they are saying "We allowed you to voice your 1 credible line of questioning, therefore you should allow us to voice our 1,000 dubious lines of questioning".
Which ignores the fact that they did NOT even allow or facilitate an investigation into the 2016 election. They blocked it at every conceivable turn and threw a damn fit and called IT a conspiracy theory despite multiple intelligence agencies agreeing it occurred.
It's just false comparison bullshit.
And revisionist bullshit.
But when you smush two turds together it becomes impossible to tell where one lie begins and the other lie ends and it just becomes more difficult to articulate why they are wrong because you have to dissect the wrongness in layers.

You are proposing killing the filibuster to enact a voting rights act instead?
I mean neither of these options are good ones. You kill the filibuster and lose the election you suddenly could be looking at a packed Supreme Court by republicans.
"authoritarian regime" is 1000% a CIA dogwhistle. basically Red Scare v2.0
If you want to argue that Biden's foreign policy is largely a continuation of Trump's then sure, that's mostly true and the improvements are generally so marginal that I don't really care to argue about them literally being the same. But please stop acting like Trump's was GOOD and Biden is worse.
Im not going to argue Biden is worse in a literal sense, but heres how I see it.
Trumps foreign policy was objectively worse than Obamas, on one hand he was basically just antagonizing other nations depending on his whims, and on the other he was a textbook neocon who broke off peace talks because thats what he does.
Now we have Biden, and he has the opportunity to immediately reverse course and go back to the Obama positions, but hes not.
I think its worse than Trump is bombast and while technically wrong, is the sort of thing where we were told it would be SOO much better, and its not. Being lied to/disappointed hurts more than getting the shit sandwich you expected, basically.
he's talking about fucking NORTH KOREAso am I
so am IWhich is you're such a baffling bootlicker!

Why would Republicans need to pack the Supreme Court when they'll have at least a 6-3 advantage already? And if they really wanted to do that (or anything else that scares Democrats), they could just get rid of the filibuster themselves at any time. Really, the filibuster helps the GOP way more because it blocks popular Democratic bills and gives them an excuse for not passing the crazy stuff that the GOP base wants the most.

I'm sure a lot of people support stripping voting rights from felons and whatnot.Is that supposed to make me feel better about peoples' responses because I find this to be a morally repugnant viewpoint
No not really I was more trying to figure out a reason for the responses beyond "people shouldn't vote in general"

why are these guys still making anti-trump ads
what does this accomplish at this point
I know, but I'm doubting most respondents to the poll are going that far in their thinking when faced with a more philosophical level poll question. If it had prompted them with that idea, sure.What other possible scenario would there be where someone loses the right to vote? If you're a convicted felon, you have demonstrated an inability to co-exist in society and your opinion no longer matters. It's pretty clear cut
the only reason we let people out of prison is because it's too expensive to keep them thereholy fuck what in the absolute hell
