I sent this to you on Bluesky while listening to Christine on your show. This sums up the idiotic, BS the Republicans are pushing with this “Save Act”
With the technology at their fingertips, never before has our Government had the capability to know so much about a person living in this country. There is no such thing as private personal information anymore. They want to charge people to register to vote, which is clearly a poll tax.
“The Government already has all the documents the SAVE Act requires.
The Government ISSUES birth certificates, marriage licenses, divorce decrees, death certificates, passports, naturalization docs, etc.
They already know where we live.
THEY ALREADY KNOW IF WE ARE A CITIZEN AND WHERE WE LIVE.
Why ask us for what they already have? Why not just look in their files and send Voter ID cards to everyone that qualifies FREE OF CHARGE?” —Sheryl Rice
MAGAts are fucking morons. Thanks to the multi-year dumbing down of the American educational system, and the proliferation of right-wing radio and the Fox Propaganda Network, these rubes have no functioning gray matter between their ears. All they're capable of is believing every last utterance of the Pedophile-In-Chief - who plays them for the fools they are.
In the 1950's and 1960's, the American educational system was producing engineers that could send man to the moon and back. Today we have to import that level of talent from foreign countries. These days college graduates come with a debt level greater than many mortgages, and the ability to do little more than order things and services through an app.
(warning - old person rant >>>>) Before I left home for college I could do my own laundry (including mending holes, sewing buttons, and ironing), my own food shopping, my own cooking and cleaning, general household repairs and auto maintenance (thanks dad!!!), balance my own checkbook and be responsible for my own budget.
If there was a widespread crisis on the electric grid or a prolonged internet outage, the majority of the 18 to 30 year-olds in the country today are completely unable to sustain themselves and would be dead within a month. THAT'S the legacy of what the Republicans have done to the educational system in America over the past 60 years.
Hi Michelangelo, the dumbing down of America was on full display yesterday with caller Christine. You tried to educate someone who is clearly uneducable or unwilling to be educated. Instead, she mimics her dear leader and others in the MAGA cult. Did she ever send you an email with documented proof of widespread voter fraud? No, because it doesn't exist, anyway. The idea that people need to be confident in elections is a talking point that comes on the heels of the repetitive lies about massive voter fraud or that undocumented people are voting in large numbers. "You can't fix stupid," said Ron White.
Hi Mike, I don’t know how u can deal with these folks on a national platform.. heck, I write about my episodes with “Golf with MAGAs” but not on your type of platform… I even get criticism when I quote their god king.. I’m told I have tds.. that’s grand scale delusional. Best to you Mike, love your show..
I heard her on yesterday’s show. Typically, she didn’t want to listen.
I appreciate your skill at dealing with these people, Michaelangelo, for the public good. It’s probably unadvisable for the rest of us to have an argument on these grounds. Sounds like the old Monty Python.
I was listening to Hartmann's fill in when a young woman called in about starting 3rd party before the election because she was mad at the Dems. He used it as topic of debate legitimizing it as just another choice without consequence another lefty trait. We can always fix it because America always bounces back so no real urgency is needed for those in relative safety and comfort. Where did that come from? Total fuckin ignorance of ignorance and left wing Dem bashers playing dangerous game of criticizing Dems. On your show is where you are second place on Dem bashing only to the GOP in first place. Don't you find it odd the right benefits the most from this liberal ignorance. I seriously believe this anti Democrat strategy was created by the right to split the left because the GOP benefits hugely every time while the people we claim to care about suffer because somebody feels pissy about a single issue. I don't see any gain in giving away power until Jesus comes back in the form of the perfect Democratic candidate so good even selfish privileged nonvoters will drag their asses to the polls and vote for them. Why not elect the Dems to power and then turn up pressure instead of denying them a majority at all creating this ridiculous situation we are in of letting the candidate deciding for us whether win or lose. Vote to win and make adjustments later.
First, as simple as it is, there is no voter fraud. And if there was, why in the world is the finger pointing to Democrats. If there was such a possibility, Republicans would be just as guilty. I do have a question: Why not simplify it all and establish a national ID?
You should have brought to her attention that this was never an issue before trump. I am always amazed at the logic behind the comments and the inability to look at the bigger picture.
I did some research trying to find how many people were actually convicted of voter fraud in the last five years or ten years. It is rather difficult to find because there is no database. The best information is Heritage Foundation, which actually is not all that great. But even so, the best numbers I can find are that there have been about 130 convictions, about evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats, which a bunch of Independents.
How many votes were cast in the past five years nationwide? Millions. In ten years, it's hundreds of millions, and there are less than 200 convictions. This is despite the fact that republicans are hunting for any voter fraud they can find, and Trump even had a federal commission about that he had to disband because they couldn't find any evidence.
I could not listen to her. There was something so enragingly smug about her. Made my skin crawl!!

So voter fraud is not an issue for Americans..
