#ABCNL #VOTINGRIGHTS #MLKDAY
The dems have flipped the script on MLK by saying people SHOULD be judged on the color of their skin…'white privilege"…"white nationalist" .."lack of diversity" (to many whites and not enough blacks)…so much for judging people based on their character..
I'm a victim of driver suppression, a cop gave me a ticket for not having a drivers license.
This law would've reduced the power of the black voting block and given it to illegals. Now that its been defeated watch how quick all the sudden illegals are going to be sent home.
There is no country in the world that does not require valid identification… I don’t understand the problem
Never federalized our elections!🤦🏾♀️ Both “Acts” are misnomers & designed to “intentionally deceive”, especially Blacks. Close the dam* border NOW, & show a valid photo ID (like a legitimate driver’s license or state issued ID), AND a Social Security card, AND register 30 days prior with a “signed under penalty of perjury” Voter’s Registration. Pretty basic stuff to insure each & every U.S. citizen gets his/hers vote to count.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🇺🇸
The MLK family is divided
The News Media will justify trying to support the 666 system
THESE FREEKS R FREEKN PAID ….PAID OFF!!! WAKE THE FK UP AMERICA!!!! DUUHHHH!!!!
I just don't understand why is Manchin still breathing it just boggles my mind.
Voting rights bill, is a the right to comment vote harvesting fraud. I've observed it twice first hand. A team will go inside a care home and register residents by the names printed on the back inside of their collars, for laundry purposes. They know a loved one posses their ID, because these residents can't even keep up with their dentures. They also return and help them fill out the ballot.
You will not get away with your lies, we see thru it
YOU LIE ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON
You have no right to state mlk jr. you are the enemy.
Right to vote is not showing your voter ID aka cheating according to the democrats who are using the political ignorance of their black voting base to campaign for it on MLK day. Talk about no shame despicable
Just show an ID to prove you are who you say you are and vote. Thats a right to vote.
Thank God for these two Democrats that are holding strong to the constitution. The Democrats are continuing to try and steal more elections.
Typical sellout democrats. This is about allowing anyone on Earth to vote in our elections.
This voting Rights bill is for the federal government to overhaul elections and ensure that Democrats Friday to elections. Democrats know that in 10 months is doomsday for them. This is their strategy to win.
Biden’s spending spree and immigration plans.
What you get: high gas and food prices, inflation, Vac mandates, and cold winter.
What illegals get: no Vac mandate, $1,000,000 in cash, flights to middle of USA during the night; housing, medical, education, and no voter ID.
Mrs Charlotte's is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy
Sure where illegals vote that sounds really really bright
240 million eligible voters in 2020 and only 158 million actually voted. Stop bullshit voter suppression!!! Biden has been causing this racial divide since he ran for office. Maybe actually see who cares to even vote !! Stop wasting time on bogus stuff.
Don't you love how they package this with flowery phrasing like "voting rights" to make it sound so virtuous and pure? What would really be virtuous and pure is an election that can't be hacked by unscrupulous people who can't prove that they have the right to vote in the first place.
Isn't there other people of color why is it only Blacks people COMPLAINING about voter rights I'm Black never had a problem casting my vote
These bills have poison pills that massively increase corruption limits and raise the financial bar for 3rd party representation. This severely limits who the American electorate can even vote for and railroads the nation into the moderate corporate parties that MLK Jr. warned us about.
MLK doesn't deserve a holiday.
I find it absolutely ironic and ridiculous that the democrat party which fought to keep slavery calls everyone a racist who doesn't agree with them. How stupid are people to not know this? Democrat party are as evil as it gets folks.
Mlk family members also spoke at trump rally against Democrats crazy agenda
No more FRAUD JOE M GREAT JOB SAVE AMERICA NOW THEY ARE USING US BLACKS AGAIN
What is so difficult to have the ID to vote?. ZERO issue. Every citizen must have a photo id to vote in all countries worldwide .
If joe really won most votes in history why the need to change legislation? Hmmm
I’d think MLK would’ve like a fair election ! That includes one that has proof of ID !
A change gonna come, oh yes it is!
Independent here. Question? Why Blame Biden though …… for people not voting in Senate elections 🙄…..and then get mad when Republicans block dumb mfs ….from being able to vote 🗳 in the future ….for not voting to begin with ….and blame the president….who is at the mercy of the Senate….which has the ability to fix it….but not enough ( supporting ) Democratic senators in place ….because dumb mfs didn't vote ……and Democrats are surprised they lose all the time ……blame people who don't vote who would rather be dictated to not the president….sadly but truthfully the same people disproportionately effected ……could give a f*** less about voting rights
I agree, President Biden needs to step up & pass voting rights now & get rid of the filabuster. The problem is they don't wanna give us the voting rights we want & if they can't give it to us, the Republicans surely won't.
Nobody cares about Dr. King's sunken family we know they are boule and white supremacy collaborates. Btw ABC news y'all are trying too hard it seems desperate 🤣🤣.
There should be nothing that would stop us for voting. If they think that not having an ID will stop us let's all get one. # Ain't No Stopping Us Now we're on the move. 🏃♂️ 🏃♀️.
