Joe Biden is now POTUS

Fill out the form at the DVM, and take your a-- to the library and vote.
It is not that hard to do. Do not miss any local election
Early voting is open for three weeks now, There is zero excuse
You will never be taken off the voter rolls if you show up to vote

That's all fine and dandy. That's not the issue though. Making it more difficult for non-whites to vote is the issue.

I do believe they want to cut early voting down drastically. It is how
they were killed in both the general elections and the Senate runoffs.
Their election day mass voting in both cases was not enough to over-
come the advantage built by the other side in early voting.
 
Yall are truly missing this issue. I'm sure the "no excuses" thing was used when they'd have dogs out attacking people on the way to the polls.
I'm not missing the point at all. If they're switching the rules of the game, then you prepare to play that game, under the new rule vs waiting and letting them win.

Good. Then keep voting for people who represent those interests and holding them accountable. We can't just vote and expect things to change without follow through and follow up. And to answer your question, accountability is our mandate post voting to get what we voted for. It's not a zero sum game, because negotiations are the essence of every relationship. But define your boundaries. If you're cool with switching sides where the other side doesn't value you or your beliefs, then there's nothing to talk about. All else fails, run for office.

Axios reporter Jonathan Swan describes a December 18 meeting between President Donald Trump,
White House officials and conspiracy theorists that ended in a profanity-laced shouting match.
Swan, who has covered Donald Trump's presidency for years, called it one of the most dark and
demented meetings of the administration.

OSLO (Reuters) - U.S. voting rights activist and Democratic Party politician Stacey Abrams has been nominated for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize for her work to promote nonviolent change via the ballot box, a Norwegian lawmaker said on Monday.

Abrams, whose work was credited with boosting voter turnout last year, helping Joe Biden win the U.S. presidency, joins a long list of nominees, including both former President Donald Trump and his son-in-law, former White House adviser Jared Kushner.
“Abrams’ work follows in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s footsteps in the fight for equality before the law and for civil rights,” said Lars Haltbrekken, a Socialist Party member of Norway’s parliament.
King, a Baptist minister who became a leader of the 1960s civil rights movement, won the Nobel prize in 1964 and remains among its most famous laureates.

“Abrams’ efforts to complete King’s work are crucial if the United States of America shall succeed in its effort to create fraternity between all its peoples and a peaceful and just society,” Haltbrekken said.
Thousands of people, from members of parliaments worldwide to former winners, are eligible to propose candidates, and a nomination does not imply endorsement from the Nobel committee in Oslo.
Other candidates this year include Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, the World Health Organization and climate campaigner Greta Thunberg.

The U.S. Black Lives Matter movement, as well as Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the “Pentagon Papers” about the Vietnam War, U.S. Congresswoman Barbara Lee, and WikiLeaks, have also been nominated, as have pro-democracy and civil rights campaigners from Belarus to Poland and Hungary.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee, which decides who wins the award, does not comment on nominations, but nominators can choose to reveal their picks.
Prominent former U.S. winners include Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama, and former vice president, Al Gore.
The 2021 laureate will be announced in October.
