And if you follow the string back even further, it started because I said the water ban was only a minor inconvenience. Then y'all jumped down my throat for it. And no you didn't literally say "too poor to afford it" that was just a stand in for your far more vague and presumptuous "you have no idea what it's like being so unprivileged that water bans are a significant deterrent."

So neither I nor anyone else said they are too poor to afford water. Nor was it even implied. You aren't arguing in good faith. You're upset that there was any push back at all on your dismissiveness. Vague and presumptuous? I'm a poor black man that has seen how hard they make it for us to vote. I'm not being presumptuous. I live it. Closing early polling locations, limiting staff, limiting drop off box locations, limiting the time you get to go to those places. Not being able to get time off to go to those places that can be very far out of the way. Trying to ban people helping those that can't get a ride. At least on voting day, as long as you are in line before polls close, you will still get to vote and it will(should) be counted.

I don't see anyone saying don't try to vote early if you can. Nor anyone saying not to make sure if you have to vote by mail to insure that it is counted. That's not something anyone is pushing back against. You bring it up as if someone is saying otherwise. That's why I said you are being dismissive and deflecting away from the complaints being made. Again, people are simply talking about the shittiness of the laws that Republicans put forth.
