Well she or he has a point..
In the beginning of the republic, voting was mainly restricted to property-owning white men, which would later be extended to all men. While the right to vote was eventually granted to women with the 19th Amendment in 1920, white women were the main beneficiaries.
Men and women of color would continue to fight to battle discriminatory voting practices for decades even after technically receiving the right to vote, culminating in the historic civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, which led to landmark legislation that transformed American voting rights.
This is the problem with “party” systems. “If they are GOP, they must be OK.”
I am all for abolishing the party system. If not, I am for free TV time in equal amounts for every candidate that makes the ballot. If we heard from everyone..we might just find someone who isn’t a corrupt weirdo.
