It's not just a non-white person issue, if all of us can't voter freely then we have to put up with the stupid too long.

America doesn't even rank above the UK (a constitutional monarchy) in democracy index !!!

Texas and Missouri have the lowest voter access in the union !!

Can you imagine if there was liberal democracy in those states !?!?

People, without liberal democracy none of the other issues matter logically
