Harvard has already established that we live in an oligarchy and that voting has no effect on anything at the Federal level. Who you vote for on the local and state level might, but voting, in general, has lost any sense of importance in governance.

However, the only issue about ID's I've ever heard is that it's discriminatory against certain groups to require those items to vote. I truly fail to see how, if there is a multi-year window to acquire said ID's that this can not be achieved regardless of who you are.

I am willing to hear arguments as to why and consider them, but my own reason is telling me that it's ridiculous to believe identification is racist.

Now if you argue it's fascist, I would fully support you. That it is just another step in the cataloging and documenting of everyone for proper processing through the commercialist machine, I would agree with you.

Instead all I hear is, "It's racist."

It's not racist if EVERYBODY has to do it. That's inclusive. That's the opposite of racism. That is equal misery for all.
