.MaddowBlog: The problem with Kellyanne Conway equating voting rights and cupcakes

At face value, the comparison is itself silly. Cupcake access is not legally protected. There's a reason you haven't heard of the landmark Cupcake Rights Act of 1964.

What's more, while some D.C.-area residents have the time and resources to go to Georgetown and wait an hour for premium tasty treats, many do not. In the United States, meanwhile, the franchise is not supposed to be limited to the elite. But there are related details that suggest Conway got this backwards. For example, Georgetown Cupcake, like many places nationwide that serve food, is currently a delivery-only establishment. During a pandemic, it's not safe for locals to wait in line on a sidewalk for a cupcake, but customers can still place an order and Georgetown Cupcake will dispatch the treats to their door.

Similarly, there are reasonable concerns about the public-health effects of forcing Americans to go to crowded venues to cast a ballot during a crisis, but plenty of states are prepared to send ballots directly to people's homes. The cupcake comparison, however, was really only part of the problem with Conway's pitch. Just as important was her suggestion that it's admirable to force Americans to go to the polls during a public-health crisis, putting themselves and others at risk, simply to exercise their right to vote."People are very proud to show up and go to the polls," Conway said, presumptively describing the feelings of people she does not know.

No, Kellyanne Conway, Voting Rights Are Not Like CupcakesKellyanne Conway offered a misguided rationale for forcing people to vote in person: If people can stand in line for a cupcake, they can stand in line to vote. jonathanchait writes jonathanchait Fuck KellyannePolls and her Alt Facts.. There’s this thing.. it’s called the Internet.. And Voila!! Kellyanne USED to tell Truth about trump jonathanchait Cupcakes are not necessities; therefore people who are can afford to sacrifice time in line to get them will do so. Voting is a right, and should not be made accessible to only those who can afford the time to wait in line for it. jonathanchait 不亲自去投票,好让左派伪造选举结果吗?

Biden hires voting rights director as absentee ballot battle heats upJoe Biden hired a senior staffer to work on voter protection issues, his presidential campaign said on Tuesday, as President Donald Trump again blasted states' efforts to expand voting by mail in light of the coronavirus pandemic ahead of the Nov. 3 election. we'll be voting online by 2028. Both this guy and Trump are laughing at society behind closed doors, for believing in the right vs left paradigm. A society they think of as cage (house, apartment ) dwelling plebeians only good for their enrichment. Society deserves both of these guys, and those behind them. Egg chips & peas
