re: #306 No Malarkey!

Yep he said “If you count only the legal votes, Trump would’ve won.” And by “legal votes” he means “votes cast by white people.”

I know they’re using weasel language and several layers of indirection there, denouncing their racism by saying, “No, we mean that only same-day in-person votes are legal, we didn’t say anything about white people.” Of course, white people are overwhelmingly the demographic who have the means to be able to vote same day in person, especially in 2020 - a pandemic year, in which many people were uncomfortable going out at all - so it amounts to the same thing in practice.

It still boggles my mind that they are so against making it easy to vote. I mean, I get why, because more people voting is bad for them, but… Isn’t that the actual definition of being anti-democratic? “I don’t want people to vote because they might vote against me” seems like a very un-American take.
