basilico:Where did voters turn out 100%, or is that a fact you pulled from your ārse? |

Russian invasion of Ukraine is becoming likely to occur, according to News report. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di_qFlayUZU Seems the war drums are beating hard while amping up the rhetoric 1) What does this really potend for Europe and the West? 2) Is history about to repeat itself? 3) Have humans learned any lesson from the past? 4) Where does America stand on this and what can they do if the inevitable happens? |

Ibime:North Korea. Not 100% turnout but the dictator gets 100% of votes cast. Stop being on the sly. Nowhere will you ever have 100% turnout. You asking why those without voter ID should not vote smells like you are a believer like all democrats that Yes Every vote should count and everyone should vote.And a republican should not be declared the winner since not all demonrats cast their vote. Voting as invented by some prehistoric society was meant to ensure the majority get their will. But the minorities should also have their say too. |

basilico:What was the voter turnout in USA last election. Who cares about your North Korea When GQP can't win election, they cry fraud, so they can steal elections with pen and voter suppression. Which of the following did you have at the age of 18 when you were eligible to vote?

basilico:It's like the 5 hours GMT is affecting your mental state. What's with your inability to stay on-topic since you were sent on expatriate mission. You suggested America had 100% turnout, I asked you where, you said North Korea. I asked if you had valid ID as a young man, you start talking about Russian hoax Stay on-topic please. Which of the following did you have at the age of 18 when you were eligible to vote?

Ibime:Your stupid technic of arguing has started. how is it racist? Do white people get a Drivers's license at 18 and blacks don't? You don't seem to be a professional victim don't act like one. The legal age to vote in the US is 18. Do you want to tell me they cannot get any photo identity card at 18? not even a passport? anyone can get a photo identity card. you are arguing voter ID is racist. what a shame. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Ibime(m): 10:20pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
benalvino3:You should stop being stupid. Where in my post did you see race? At the age of 18, did you have drivers licence in Comproboko secondary school? This is about cutting down the eligible voters in demographics that don't favour you. Race is just one factor. Majority of young people vote to the left. How do you cut their vote, if not by cutting out people without drivers licence or passport. Your mumu brain went to say why can't black young people get a licence like the white. The aim is to cut out all young people. Same thing with the disabled. Same thing with the poor. That's where the racism allegation comes in. And also same with the casual easy going citizen who is unlikely to prepare all these things, unlike the cultist who takes voting as war. This is the reason GQP don't win popular votes with young people, because people don't easily forget disenfranchisement and ojoro. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by benalvino3: 10:26pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
Ibime:it is a fact that folks here and the democratic establishment have called voter ID racist. their claim is that blacks can't or don't have them. Raumdeuter and basilico are talking about the delusional stance some people have. you came here arguing against them. you are arguing for Voter ID is racist. At age 15, I have a national identity card. even my nieces and nephews at 4 have passports and NIN. A drivers license is not an essential form of identification because not everyone can have it. children less than a year old are getting passports. if you are 18 and you don't have a passport or photo identification or citizens card. sorry for yourself. the young people and poor people who vote left you talked about are only blacks right? have you seen what black America has to say about this or you will continue supporting delusion |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by raumdeuter: 10:29pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
Ibime:In America by the age of 16 you can apply for a drivers license. Minors can apply for State ID or passport Federal Elections are not interhousesports. They determine the future of a country and are serious things Will this 18yr old apply for a job, withdraw money from a bank, buy alcohol, travel by air without the ID? So why should they vote without the ID |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 10:29pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
Ibime:No election has 100% turnout. Majority have their will. Minority have their say. Election counts should wait until everyone of age as of that D-Day votes according to you. Yoiu are quite something of a something. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Ibime(m): 10:37pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
benalvino3:You are talking rubbish. You went to Comprehensive secondary school, a State school. How many of your classmates could get hands on such. Your 4 year old niece has passport because she travelled, what percentage of 4 year olds do? Voting is a right of citizenry, get that through your thick skull. The minute you put in laws that disenfranchise a good percentage of an eligible demographic from voting, you are denying them rights and playing foul. I can put myself in others shoes. If not for the luck of happenstance, I would have no business with any of the below documents by age 18 or even 19, and neither would 80% of my classmates. I would have no reason to have a passport if I had a single Nationality as I did not travel as a teen except visiting family in Nigeria or UK as the case may be.

raumdeuter:An 18 year old will do all the above without the ID listed below. The ID listed below is beyond the imagination of the average 18 year old unless an adult with means facilitates it.
|
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by raumdeuter: 10:45pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
Ibime:How will an 18yr old get a job, withdraw money from a bank, buy liquor, travel by air, rent a house without either a Passport, State ID, Drivers license An 18yr old is an adult old enough to go to war, and if he commits a crime would be charged as an adult They want to know you are who you claim to be. You show up to vote as Ibime, the next logical question is to ask you to prove that you are Ibime with a govt issued document that ties your face to your name |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by benalvino3: 10:48pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
Ibime:see desperation. what percentage of 4 years old vote? you are now talking about 4 years old and percentage. If one 4 year old can get an identification... what are all the 18 years old doing? it is the right of the citizens yes... but they need check and balance to identify who is who. else, if like you said voting is the right of the citizens... why not carry a newborn baby and vote? there are age restrictions, right? so there is eligibility one must meet to vote. we are talking about election. The legal age to vote is 18. if at 18 you don't have any form of identification then you should not be voting. by the time those comprehensive folks reach 17, they might have come across stuff that will make them have an identity card. I mean, I have to use my bank identity card before I got my national identity card. I used my birth cert and my Dad's identity to open my bank account. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by raumdeuter: 10:50pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
Ibime:By age 18 you are an adult citizen and you are treated as an adult by law. So its your duty to get a license to enable you do the things adults do. If you cannot be arsed to get the appropriate identification like other adults then you might as well not worry about voting and other adult things. How do I know the individual in front of me is ibime and not benalvino? Or I just have to believe your words? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 10:50pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
Ibime:Let's get this clear. If you are a minority chances are you wont have valid document to vote. If you are white the ID is delivered to your doorstep on your 18th birthday. That would certainly appear racist like the color of milk. Does it happen that way. Or do 16 year olds have a full two years to get their voting docs in order if they are black. Who only make up 13% of the population. There is inherent racism in identity docs. prolly these blacks cant even get college admissions. That's what I gather from you, unless you are typing this from a South End place of indecency. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Ibime(m): 11:04pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
raumdeuter:You are jumping from pillar to post. First you said they couldn't drink, fly or get a job without these IDs which is false. None of these IDs are a test of being a responsible adult, they are a sieve to filter out youth (and other demographics) As an 18 year old, I was an adult and had been living by myself independently since 16, working part time, paying rent, bills and tax. The only two documents that concerned me then were my bus pass and student ID I had no need to drive and no need to travel abroad. The passport I had was purely curcumstancial. I didn't need it to be an adult. I had stellar grades and was politically aware, 100 times more than the 16 year old who left school to work in the lumber yard and procured a driver's licence for that purpose, and more aware than a 48 year old blue collar worker who would have grabbed these IDs as life progressed. This is the same for many 18 year olds. Swear that as an 18 year old Ile Ife student or prospective student, one of the top 5% smartest people in Nigeria, that you had one of these. It's best you call it what it is - voter suppression.

Ibime:Stop making noise then. if you need to vote then get ID to allow you to vote. you said it yourself. you only got a Student ID and bus Pass... You no need to drive so you don't care about drivers license. case close. when you need to drive you will get the License and when others need to vote they will get an identification that will allow them to vote. No one is stopping them to vote because of the color of their skin or stopping them from acquiring an ID because of the color of their skin. |

Ibime:Ibime, these dumb dumb are too limited to understand nuanced social issues. They are programmed to be binary in their thinking. The level of ignorance is just astonishing. No wonder the state Nigeria is in! What chance has a country got with obstinately ignorant folks? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by raumdeuter: 11:13pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
Ibime:USA is very different from Nigeria. Unless an adult cosign your lease, If you want to lease an apartment like every 18yr old can do, then you need a picture ID. . As a University student, I didnt have an international passport until I was 22yrs but I had a drivers license even though I didn't own a car I grew up in Nigeria which was different from US. No one needs ID to buy alcohol in Nigeria like its mandatory in the US. I have been buying alcohol for many years and no one asked for ID in Nigeria. Do we have State IDs in Nigeria like they have in America for every teenager who is willing to get one? There are certain responsibilities that come to you as an adult, And theere are requirements for you to get those adult benefits. Voting is the right of every citizen, but for you to exercise your right you need to prove your identity with a govt issued ID so we can be certain you are who you claimed to be Its not that difficult unless you have ulterior motives. To do many things as an adult you need to prove your identity with govt issued IDs We are talking about the US not Nigeria where getting a govt ID is one of the easiest things to do Is there a demographic in the US that does not qualify for a state ID even if you are not interested in driving |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 11:13pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
Ibime:So your case is unique. Never needed docs to prove adulthood. Life was good for you but you feel your vote shoulda coulda woulda made difference. Your case dont smack racism where iD is needed to vote? By now you should be hollering Trump is the next best thing since sliced bread but you are hardwired to believe his conservative actions were villainous. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Ibime(m): 11:25pm On Jan 20, 2022 |
raumdeuter:You don't need a passport or drivers licence to lease a flat You don't need a passport to fly within your own country You don't need a driver's licence to buy alcohol I doubt you had a driver's licence at 18, if you did, it's purely curcumstantial I did not drive when I lived in London. I would not even have gotten drivers licence if not for one or two things. I was already in my mid-20s before I got one. I have a friend, a very successful entrepreneur who does not have one till today. I have gone years without car in London, using train and my bicycle to go to work everyday till I left London just 8 years ago. That means if I'm someone who doesn't travel abroad (like most Americans), I don't see why I would need these IDs, and I won't start going through the process of getting them just because election is coming up. None of these IDs are necessary to be a responsible adult, and none are necessary for voting. You get them as you grow older as one or two circumstances change in your life. If you live in New York and are the typical American who only vacations in America, chances are you don't need these documents. They are purely a sieve to filter out youth, and Inner City youth moreso.
