So you only need it under certain conditions. It’s not a requirement to vote. So most people don’t need it, because the vast majority of people don’t visit military bases, secure federal facilities, or travel via aircraft.
Voting is a fundamental right. You really want to make it so only people wealthy enough to fly places get to vote?
Like I say, motor voter states already have the requirment, just make all states motor voter, flip to 100% vote by mail, and tell the Republicans “mission accomplished” and watch them lose their goddamned minds.
I can’t tell if you’re being deliberately obtuse or you really just can’t see beyond your own lived experience. Either way, your worldview is problematic, and you’re standing on the side of fascists.
You don’t need an ID for a job. You just need a social security number. Same for social services. And if you want to bail on society and live in the woods, you still have the right to vote. Thinking it’s OK to make it harder to vote just because you don’t respect the people who will have a harder time is about as anti-american as it gets.
In order to have a life that looks like mine you need ID. I don’t see how people without ID do it. I don’t they’re being deliberately obtuse. Life is hard enough and most of us have a hard time understanding how different other people’s lives can be.
Right, but that’s exactly my point. It’s important to understand that everyone has a right to vote, and not just the people who have a life that looks like yours. And if you’re willing to take rights away from people who aren’t like you, then you’re the oppressor.

“Motor voter”? Like, drive-through balloting?
Automatic voter registration when getting or renewing a drivers license or ID card.
Not everybody who has the right to vote needs a driver’s license or an ID card.
Everyone who wants a job, house, bank account, doctor, etc. etc. needs at least an ID card.
It’s not possible to function in modern society without identification.

It’s super simple:
If you want a job, you have to have ID.
If you want social services, you also have to have ID.
If you bail and are living in the woods like a wildman, good for you, but you aren’t voting, and the number of people doing that is not significant.
