224. How is this projection? You don't want to extend the voting registration period or have same day

Mon May 23, 2016, 05:14 PM

May 2016

registration in CA, why not?

That is the question. You are deflecting away from that with your complaints about Bernie and his supporters. They are trying to allow more people to vote and to make it easier for people to vote. So what's wrong with that?

Seriously, when the GOP wants people to not have an easier time voting we are all upset. So I'm wondering why you have a problem with it. You started off immediately complaining about Bernie and his supporters in such a harsh and insulting manner I am wondering why you feel so strongly that this is such a terrible, "assholery" thing, to help more people vote?

And as an aside, are you actually complaining about my posts - triggered by this exchange oddly enough - when you started this all off with this post? Talk about projection. Wow!

Well I just perused some more of this OP's thread and it seems you are being a sweetheart all over the place. The nerve of you to say what you said to me here. Unfuckingbelievable. Zero integrity.
