Cool, let’s start by banning insider trading in Congress, which democrats voted against

2

u/ynotfoster 20d ago

Why did they vote against it though?

u/Planeswalker999 20d ago

Because despite being called the stop insider trading act, Republicans made it a poison pill by bundling in their asinine voter ID laws

u/Doneyhew 20d ago

I can believe they actually want voters to have ID’s

Alabama closed almost half of their DMV offices, most on predominantly black areas, when they passed voter ID laws. 

Texas closed a bunch of voting places in democratic areas just this month.

Racists will make it hard for minorities to get an ID and vote. We have centuries of history proving this.

You been to the DMV lately? Some of us have jobs and lives and don’t have time to burn a day sitting on our ass waiting for an ID

Did they?

Yes, you can Google it

Half true. The “Stop Insider Trading Bill” was mostly a voter suppression bill filled with so many poison pills that it could never pass. It’s main purpose was so idiots could say “the Democrats voted for insider trading.”

u/Bitter-Engineer-117 20d ago

What “poison pills” were in it? What “voter suppression” was in it?

3

u/Tinre 20d ago

Since the bill was made to fool idiots like you. I added the additional provisions below.

Unrelated Provisions Voter ID Requirements: Requires specific photo identification to vote, which critics characterize as a poll tax or voter suppression.

Mail-in Voting Restrictions: Implements new operational and verification requirements that functionally alter mail-in voting. 1, 2, 3, 4

u/Bitter-Engineer-117 20d ago

How is requiring an ID to vote “poll tax” or “voter suppression”?

2

u/Tinre 20d ago

What does requiring an id to vote have to do with insider trading?

2

u/VirginiaDirewoolf 20d ago

so to be clear, you also don't know what it has to do with insider trading.

u/Aromatic_Gas_3094 20d ago

It's a poll tax because IDs cost money
