Forget the fact that Uber is UBER LIBERAL for a moment.


A driver did kick people out of their car simply for being Republicans and saying so.


Why would we want more people that can't figure out and/or afford to get to the polling places on election day, or the early voting days, or mail in a ballot, to vote?


I would think that we would want this class of people to vote in fewer numbers, not more.

They don't scream out - Hey I'm a great decision maker -

to me.

Because in a real Democracy, we ALL have the right to vote. Not just those you deem acceptable.

Well, we aren't a democracy

No one's saying don't let them vote.

This is great!!
Now if only some states would stop deleting thousands of registered voters before the Election , then it would be totally great.

You are against removing the registrations of deceased people and those that have moved to a new district, city or state? Why?
