Yes, deeply scary, and no, not too much to ask for. Thanks for this, Liza, and I love the drawings.

Three black senators speak about the lack of diversity in the senate. Reminds me of the business group event I got involved with that included 6 black people out of 20. The most vocal of these self-described victims of oppression were either retired (comfortably), working in a high paying industry (Real Estate), running their own company or being the city manager making $185k/yr in a small Florida city. After listening to the sob story of growing up in Phili oppressed, we all drove away, and I found myself next to the woman running her own company at a traffic light. I waved and noticed she drove a Mercedes.

More people voted in 2020 than ever before so I guess you think that adds up to voter oppression. And I am sure that Delaware, Joe Biden's home state, will get their voting rights laws up to par with Georgia someday, right?

We already have voting rights. Unless you are a complete moron, voting is simple and easy. I’ve done it many times (and so has my 88 year-old dad, who has cancer and bad eyesight). All you have to do is: 1) be an American citizen 2) show proper ID 3) show up on one day of the year to vote and if you can’t be there in-person, 4) get an absentee ballot. If you don’t have ID, you can get one from your State (otherwise known as a “State ID”). Easy peasy (unless you are a moron).
