(145,129 posts)I will continue to fight GOP voter suppression on the ground and find your theory that you can win here politically to be sad and naive. The GOP will not stop using voter suppression tactics for political reasons in the real world. The only way to fight GOP voter suppression is on the ground and in the courts.
BTW, I am planning on supporting AG Holder and President Obama's plan to fight gerrymandering. https://democraticredistricting.com/ Part of these efforts will be political in terms of trying to retake state houses and part will be in the courts. Again, the best way to fight voter suppression is to do so on the ground in the real world.
Again, I live in the real world and I am far more familiar with the issues here. Your analysis is simply wrong.
Attempting to excuse the actions of Nader, Stein and the Green party through the use of a straw man argument on voter suppression is really weak and does not work. Nader took Rove's money and delivered the 2000 race to the GOP. As a result we got the Iraq War, Citizens United and the gutting of the voting rights act. Trying to divert attention away from these facts with sad but bogus voter suppression red herrings or straw man arguments does not work
