Everyone needs a state-issued ID. Everyone dreads the DMV. Doesn’t really matter. Quit complaining and do what needs to be done.



I’m just pointing out that it’s not a trivial task. Especially the Real ID.

And I am lucky enough to have a car & money. And I can track down the various documents required for the Real ID. And while it’s a pain to schedule time off of work I can get time off of work. It’s possibly an extremely challenging task for some people.

Also, I haven’t had a valid ID in almost 2 years. You don’t “need” a valid gov’t ID.



Interesting. I guess you never see the doctor? Buy alcohol? Rent a car? Board a plane? Stay at hotels?


Not in the last 2 years.




My passport is expired too.




And we're supposed to have sympathy because you're... lazy?


They both expired during the pandemic. Sorry - I’ve been busy with my young kids and job. And then additional documentation after they expired.



I am guessing you kept driving of course.

All my identifying documents have expired. Why won't you just take my word? /s


I have no reason to lie. They weren’t expired when I set out on my journey to get a new license in 2020.



I assure you: no one cares about this sob story of yours. We've all had to put up with inconveniences to renew our licenses, obtain ID, etc. You are not special, but you certainly are a whiner. From the VA DMV: "Wednesdays are now walk-in days! Walk in for service Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday (in offices with Saturday hours). Appointment-only service is available on Mondays and Fridays. Plan your visit today!"

If you can't manage that, there is something seriously wrong with your organizational skills.

My entire point is that it is not a trivial task. Especially in certain circumstances. It has been a huge burden, even for me - and I have a car, computer, mortgage, etc.

You have repeated yourself ad nauseum. No one cares what kind of "burden" this has been for you. You just sound beyond ridiculous.



Yes, it's very clear that you DGAF that it's a burden for anyone.

Why is it that the GOP looks to increase burdens every chance they get? Esp when it negatively affects poor people?

They are lazy and racist. Everytime this comes up they claim the inconvenience too great and POC can't handle obtaining documents like birth certificates. The DMV gives you a checklist of docs you need, it's really quite simple


I’m not old or poor and it has been a huge PITA for me.

The GOP is pretty transparent about its effort to disenfranchise D voters across the board. They realize they can only win by taking away votes from eligible voters. And throwing away results they don’t like.


I guess it is a PITA to go online to request a copy of your birth certificate and marriage license. Previous generations were able to handle 3-4 hour in-person waits managing to get ID without even the internet. But I hope you understand not everyone, especially POC, have the same issues you seem to have with following directions.


That was a drivers license. I know it is hard for someone like yourself to understand the difference between a drivers license and a National ID? There is no voting fraud but because of people like you we need to reinvent a system that is working fine. It makes it harder to vote. The only reason you want for making it harder to vote is to suppress the vote. Conservatives just want to rule by dictate.


DP. I think it's hilarious that liberals such as yourself insist that obtaining an ID - something everyone should have anyway - is just too hard. Spare us all. No one is "making it harder to vote." You sound absolutely inept and helpless. Get an ID and stop whining.



The fascinating part is that libs want to force everyone to be vaccinated.

What do you need to show in order to get vaccinated? An ID!!!!! I know this first hand, because I didn’t want to show my ID for my vaccination, and was told I couldn’t get it without showing ID.

So apparently everyone CAN get an ID - because you need it to get vaccinated, and every MUST get vaccinated…

But when it comes to voting, an ID is discriminatory.


Explain that one to me.

Yeah, because showing ID to vote is so awful.


Sit down.

Obtaining an ID is simply not the huge, insurmountable task you liberals like to make it out to be. Is it a pain? Sure. Deal with it.

So, you - in your beautifully articulate and entirely rational way - are saying that Republican moms don't understand politics? And that they surely couldn't have wanted Youngkin's policies when they voted for him? And you're actually calling others "stupid, idiots, morons, dumb and ignorant"?

What a major self-own.

So, so glad Youngkin won. Take a seat, loser.

I certainly did. That, and my insurance card. How do you think they keep track of who's been vaccinated?

No, you don’t need an ID to get vaccinated.



Yes, you do.

I went to three different places in April of last year trying to get vaccinated without having to show an ID - one in DC, a CVS in Arlington, and a vaccination clinic at Montgomery College in Germantown, MD.

After the third try, I gave up and showed my ID at the Germantown clinic.


YOU CANNOT GET VACCINATED WITHOUT ID.

I’m proof of that.

Let me get this right: It’s too much to expect everyone to get an ID to vote (doesn’t have to be a driver’s license), but EVERYONE has to have a vaccine card proving they’ve been vaccinated at least twice (and some counties want to have vaccine passports)?
