Preventing American Citizens from Voting is the most Anti-American thing our politicians are doing right now

I don't care who you are or what your party affiliation is, if you are not outraged by the fact that our politicians are doing everything in their power to prevent our fellow American Citizens from voting, then you are unquestionably anti-American, anti-democratic, anti-Constitution, and definitely unpatriotic.  Yes, these disgusting voter suppression tactics are clearly targeted at Democratic voters; but they will undoubtedly also affect plenty of Republican voters and prevent them from voting too!  But it just doesn't matter what their party affiliation is, because voting is a fucking Constitutional right—not a privilege, but a right—that every single American citizen has, and that no politician nor government official should ever be allowed to stand in the way of.  (What does the Constitution actually say about voting rights?)



And by the way, the fact that citizens convicted of a crime in 48 states have their voting rights taken away, either temporarily or permanently, is also, I would argue, un-Constitutional and anti-democratic.  Criminal disenfranchisement laws are just plain unjust.  So what if you've been convicted of a crime?  You are still a human being and you are still an American citizen, and therefore you still should be owed the same basic right to a voice as every other American citizen has.  Because the right to vote, along with the right to free speech, is fundamental to the very nature of our democracy.  Because both the right to vote and the right to free speech are fundamentally about having the right to a voice, each citizen having an equal voice, and that that voice cannot and will not be silenced by any governmental force, because doing so is nothing short of antithetical to what a democracy is.
