And well done Youngkin for getting rid of mask mandates in schools. I'm so over my kid wearing a mask. Let COVID rip through the schools and the community. Can't wait!


He’s not even governor yet, so he hasn’t “done” anything.


Oh people are already changing the way they live. We know what the republicans want to do and people are scared for their families. We know what is coming.


Really? Please do detail the ways in which you're "changing the way you live" and how "people are scared for their families." Do you even hear yourself?? Wow.

Agree. ID should have no place in exercising a constitutional right, any constitutional right.


Owning guns is a constitutional right. Are you saying ID should have no place in the owning and licensing of a gun? Because that's just sheer stupidity and totally invalidates whatever lame argument you think you're making.

Why is anyone against an ID requirement??



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.


So true! I completely forgot about needing an ID to get vaccinated. Let's hear them make up some idiotic excuse about that...


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.


YES, YOU CAN.

If you went to any of the vaccine clinics in VA they weren’t required:

https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/covid-19-faq/vaccination/
“ No, photo identification is not required for vaccination. It is important however, to have some way to confirm your identity (i.e. name, date of birth) so we can confirm that we are vaccinating the right person.

VDH recommends that vaccine providers refrain from enforcing any residency requirements by asking for identification or documentation from individuals.”




I just LOVE how you assert that an ID isn’t needed to get vaccinated, and as proof of your claim, show a rule that clearly states some form of identification is needed to confirm your identity!!!!


Priceless. Absolutely priceless!!!



You can definitely get vaccinated without an ID at gov't vaccine clinics. Not sure why you're having trouble understanding that.
"No, government-issued identification is not required to receive a vaccination.

VDH recommends that vaccine providers refrain from enforcing any residency requirements by asking for identification or documentation from individuals."



I never had to show ID for my kids at the clinic.

For me, CVS only required it the first time for insurance processing. Anyone could have gone to my subsequent shots.


DP. All you did there was delete the relevant bolded line. You realize we can read, right? And that the more you argue this point, the dumber you appear?


"It is important, however, to have some way to confirm your identity (ie name, date of birth)..."


Important but not required.
""No, government-issued identification is not required to receive a vaccination.

VDH recommends that vaccine providers refrain from enforcing any residency requirements by asking for identification or documentation from individuals."

We already have voter ID. It's your signature. When you sign the voter rolls you are attesting your identity and right to vote.

The only way to fake those votes is to forge hundreds and thousands of signatures, and do it so well that the forgeries pass the intense scrutiny of poll workers and poll watchers.

Picture ID requirements will add literally NOTHING to election security. These proposals are just more fodder for the sheeple who have no idea how elections actually work and are therefore easy to lie to.


Then why do poll workers ask for ID?

Also, could you clarify what you mean? I don’t sign anything when I vote. I’m not sure what you mean about checking for forgeries. Could you explain?


Same here. Never signed anything while voting, but was asked for my ID.


+2
The PPP is full of it. A signature isn't a form of ID. And I was also never asked to sign anything when I vote. What a crock.

Isn't it terrible?

I used to be so proud to live here, too.


It's so embarrassing to live in a sh1thole state that elected a Trump a$$licker like Youngkin.



Leave.


+ infinity.
Yes, please. Who are these imbeciles, anyway? LEAVE.

Try to let go of the anger.


PP probably can't past giving women the vote. Next thing you know, they will be out in public unsupervised by a male relative.



So true. I love when liberals out themselves as the misogynists they actually are.
DP


Yes, liberals are well known to be misogynists. They hate women so much that they want them to have control over their own body and lobby for equal pay.


Tell us about the bolded, above. Is that poster a misogynist, or do you agree with him/her? Funny how liberals speak viciously about *conservative* women, but don't you dare speak that way about liberal women.

I do not want republicans tracking who I vote for. They have already shown they will pass laws to stop groups of people from voting. It is not a big step to stop individuals who vote for the other party.


The only people who are trying to stop individuals from voting for the other party are Democrats - specifically those arrogant a$$holes who accost me (and everyone else) at the polls, insisting I take one of their sample ballots. They're like the worst pushy salesperson.


Aww. You poor, poor snowflake. Were you okay or did you need to take a mental health day to recover?


Oh, I was A-OK, thanks for asking. Especially when Youngkin won the election. That was utterly delightful. A better question might be - were *you* ok?

Can't wait for tomorrow. Our neighborhood is having an inauguration watch party. Congratulations, Governor Youngkin!

I don’t think people are understanding the vaccine/ID issue. Sure, you don’t have to show an ID to get a vaccine. But once you have your vaccine card, you are required to show it WITH AN ID TO PROVE IT US YOUR VACCINE CARD. If you are arguing for vaccine passports, or that you need to show a vaccine card to enter indoor public spaces, you’re presuming people have ID.

I was fine. I’m not a snowflake posting on a board months later about how traumatized I was by a one minute encounter.

Agree. ID should have no place in exercising a constitutional right, any constitutional right.


Owning guns is a constitutional right. Are you saying ID should have no place in the owning and licensing of a gun? Because that's just sheer stupidity and totally invalidates whatever lame argument you think you're making.


Many 2A activists argue there should be no photo ID requirement for purchasing a gun. Many of them also strongly support a photo ID requirement for voting without seeing the conflict.

I don’t know of any. How do you know someone isn’t a felon if they don’t show ID?

Wouldn’t that require a background check?

Do all 2A activists you know support universal background checks?
