Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's harder than it should be
Harder than going to the place that gives them out and asking for one? I'm not going to hold your hand
If only it were that easy!
It is, I've done it many times
I am very happy it has been easy for you. From what I have read that is not the case for many
You've never done it?
I have, in my country, where it's relatively easy, but since I know this question is coming. Here is a source for you.

Yeah you're spouting propaganda you've heard.
You sure proved your point. If only you weren't spouting propaganda that you heard! I guess we're at an impass now.
I'm going off real experiences
Sounds very "flat earth" of you.
By getting my own ID instead of regurgitating progressive flat earth lies from another country?
No going off your experience, sample size of one, while ignoring evidence ( that many people stuggle to get ID, with evidence) that points to the contrary of your personal experience( that you had an easy time * iT lOoKs FlAt*
I'm not going off a sample of 1. In all my life I've never heard anyone say it was hard to get an id
All my life I've never met a starving African child, so I guess they aren't starving.

Faux news as a source. You keep bringing up bangers good for you! I hope you're being paid for this lol
Your source was a progressive think tank. Mine was the people you're calling victims
Your "source" was a small selection of cherry picked sound bites lol. Very good source hahaha
Yours is garbage
At least it's a real source. Lol
Lol mine is literally talking to real people in Harlem

All trump supporters are equally stupid. I have footage of here of real people outside a trump rally. Just as valid and legit as yours.
Wow great ad hominem, really got me on voter ID there. I concede
I never said you were a trump supporter. Not an ad hominem, I was just showcasing an example of why your "source" isn't a source. Lol
The source is people who live in Harlem, not Trump supporters
The source is fox "news" cherry picking sound bites, much like my source is cherry picking sound bites. Ergo you don't have a factual trustworthy source, you have opinion pieces. Try again or don't I don't care lol
People's real world experience: "sound bite"
Yes! Glad you've finally caught on!
Are you white? Are you not living in poverty?
They didn't ask
So that's a yes to both.
Cute, though, that you're trying to pretend that no one can tell what color your skin is and unable to tell whether or not you are wearing tattered old clothes. That's a level of white privilege I rarely encounter.
Idk what that means, as if it has anything to do with privilege. Seems pretty racist tho
I am sure it would seem pretty racist to someone who doesn't bother looking at any of the links in this thread about how black people and poor people are often unable to get IDs. But your victimhood is noted.
