Advocates against Voter ID law requirements cite that blacks can't get IDs (which they easily can).
I don't know what advocates you are referring to, I've never heard anyone claim "blacks can't get ID's". You seem fundamentally confused about what voter suppression is. As I already explained, it's not about disqualifying any individual from voting. It's about making it harder to vote, and to do so in such a way that the natural outcome will favor one political party.
Before I used the example of banning college ID's, your response was to argue that college students are not banned from voting which again, misses the entire point. We're not talking about individuals, we're talking about statistics. If college ID's are banned, then many college students will find themselves without the ID necessary to vote, meaning they will now have to spend their own time and money to get what they need. Some will, many won't. The impact of this decision is that less college students will vote. And since this is a reliable constituency for democrats, this will hurt the Democratic candidates chances.
Do you understand?
Advocates for Voter ID laws merely don't want undocumented immigrants voting.
Complete and utter bullshit.
There is no evidence whatsoever that illegal immigrants are flocking to the polls, and there has never been despite decades of searching for it. Voter ID laws are a solution in search of a problem, meanwhile the impacts of these laws is tangible, measurable and objective.
When one continues to support laws that cannot be demonstrated to solve any problem while demonstrably creating a problem on the back end of it, it becomes clear what the real motives are.
Political positions are not a matter of randomness which we can evaluate via statistical probabilities, they are the result of how we see the world.
They kinda are.
Proving my point yet again.
There are multiple flaws with this argument:
a. There are 8 combinations of beliefs based on the 3 issues you stated. They are:
I have no idea what your point here is.
2nd thing, you claim leftism is:
Letting and supporting people living their lives how they see fit.
I didn't say that. Please pay attention.
I said if you hold that particular view/value, *then* you will likely *be on the left* on all three of those issues. It wasn't a definition of leftism.
You also seem to misunderstand libertarianism. Libertarians are leftists when it comes to social policy and are on the political right when it comes to economic policy.
It would then be an arbitrary combination of "public health/safety" and, "freedom". The right does the same thing. A time when they support "public health" is banning gay sex because it has the potential to spread STIs
These are not the same thing. I supported vaccine mandates because we were dealing with a highly contagious disease, so your refusal to get yourself vaccinated (based on the available data at that time) endangers all of us. The freedom to swing your arms ends at someone else's nose.
Banning gay sex had absolutely nothing to do with any of that. First of all there is nothing about the fact that it's two men or two women which increases the spread of STI's, that's just bigotry plain and simple. But more importantly, you have to choose to have sex and you have to choose to do so unprotected. You can't catch an STI on line at the grocery store.
They are not the same.
If you really believe that political ideology is caused by what is on someone's tongue
I didn't say that, I was talking about a correlation as a very interesting and unexpected contributing factor. Unsurprisingly, you ignored the point and focused only on the part you could pull out of my example to make it sound as absurd as you could. You seem to have a penchant for doing that, so it's no wonder you constantly and consistently strawman everyone else.
Sometimes it's better to not treat scientists like a religion that can't be questioned no matter what. Sometimes common sense makes more sense.
Following facts, logic and evidence is not treating scientists likes religion. You really love strawmanning people.
