Poll worker charged with assaulting black voter, shouting racist remarks

It also carries the awkward implication that ending White supremacy will, to some extent, reduce the wealth and security of White people. And a lot of liberal White people suddenly become less enthusiastic about fighting racism when they realise this.

Only if your trapped in a Zero-Sum world view, which unfortunately a large number of people seem to be.

There seems an awful lot of incidents of voter suppression and other shenanigans. Perhaps the OECD needs to send election observers.

The US has been downgraded to a 'flawed democracy'

Edit: Actually the OECD did send observers:

If it makes you feel any better, I was a poll worker in Colorado yesterday and I got to help a homeless man vote. That made me feel great. I also checked in dozens of new voters too.

You don’t think putting people like that all together on an island would be life-threatening? Those types of people live to hate. If they don’t have their hate of choice handy, they’ll find a new one around them. It’d be Lord of the Flies territory within two days, and Battle Royale by the end of the week.

I’m sure all the libertarians will be able to explain how contract law will solve all their problems…something something blockchain…

Eventually they die.

The major motivator of social growth away from stupid people with dumb ideas that harm others.

Obama’s election was far from the end of racism in America, but it still wouldn’t have been possible in a country where Confederate veterans and disgruntled former slavers still made up a significant portion of the electorate.

And nothing of value was lost.
