>This statement as written is false. If you disagree, please show me where Massachusetts has a free ID card available to anyone who wants it.
Wrong. Massachusetts allows voter registration affidavits to be used as voter IDs. Those are free.
>But it does not have a general-purpose free ID card
Strawman. Nowhere did I claim that every state gives out "a general-purpose free ID." The free IDs for voting in many states are not general purpose.
>If you’re going to be argumentative, and state that something “is a fact” multiple times, please make sure you’re correct before posting.
Glad I could clear this up for you. What I stated is a fact, and correct.

>Seems like a miscalculation on their end.
Or it's a miscalculation on your end.
>You'd think they'd check around before throwing $3M away.
Maybe they did?

>You are criticizing the left for disliking election results; meanwhile, you are supporting groups that aim to overturn election results. That's the irony.
I do not support groups that aim to overturn election results, you're delusionally inventing that. There is no irony here.
>The incongruity arises from the contradiction in your opinions.
There is no incongruity here, it's just something you've delusionally invented in your mind.
Supporting democracy != supporting far-right parties
>One would expect a reasonable person to either support democracy in all cases, or oppose it. You, however, support democracy when it suits your partisan ends and oppose it when it doesn't. That's both hypocritical and ironic.
I have never opposed democracy, full stop. This must be ironic according to you, because it's the left that's calling for undemocratic, fascistic moves like banning opposition parties: https://www.yahoo.com/news/germanys-social-democrats-back-pr...
Every accusation is a confession.

So you post a definition of irony and completely fail to come up with an example of said definition LOL. Misunderstanding irony is so prevalent: https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/what-irony-is-not/
My criticism of the left has nothing to do with the "incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result." Nor do I support right-wing groups.
Your inability to understand irony is on full display here.

>blatant hypocrisy
Nothing I've said is hypocrisy. Please reread the definition of hypocrisy.

>The level of irony
That's not irony. Please reread the definition of irony.
>given the global right's shift towards authoritarian populism under untouchable leaders.
Whataboutism.

Whataboutism.
You're following me around in the comments because you're crashing out about being proven wrong here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49546137
Because it's my OP, a fact, and something that deeply triggers you because it shatters your false narrative.
>Meanwhile you are consistently ignoring the context: 10% of Americans don't have voter ID of any kind.
They're free to obtain in every state that requires voter IDs as I've stated multiple times. That's the context: they're free.
>No state issues voter ID automatically.
Every state issues IDs required for voting automatically.
>Those Americans will be disenfranchised under a Republican voter ID law.
No they won't. Various State, federal, and the US Supreme Court have upheld voter ID laws and have agreed they do not disenfranchise voters.
>The point is whether getting them is an obstacle that will disenfranchise legal voters.
Glad the US and various State governments agree it's not an obstacle that will disenfranchise legal voters.
>Lol are you literally 13 years old? You definitely act like it.
Wow you just got outsmarted by a 13 year old. Weird flex.
>You didn't actually address my question.
Yes I did.
>No. In the Czech Republic, they are issued automatically because the government already has your birth certificate.
False, Czech Republic requires you present a passport or birth certificate to obtain an ID card: https://dostupnyadvokat.cz/en/blog/identity-card
>Because IDs there are universal, there is a much lower barrier to entry.
Doesn't look like it.
>You dont know what you are talking about.
"You just proved me wrong but let me poorly try to deflect!"
>You don't "give it away" and I didn't say that you did. You need to acquire your birth cert, then show it to the DMV. I don't even know why you would even argue this. You're just arguing to be argumentative.
Your quote: "so they don't force you to acquire it and then give it back to a different part of the government."
You literally stated "give it back" LOL! Your words, not mine.
>Again, you have the mind of a 13 year old.
Got outsmarted by a 13 year old again.
>In European countries, everyone has voter ID because the IDs are issued automatically, which does not happen in the US.
This is false, not every country in Europe has compulsory IDs. ID issuance is automatic in the US.
>You are sad, pathetic person.
Says the one arguing with a 13 year old, following them around in the comments because you got outsmarted. Projecting about being pathetic are we?
>Citation needed.
Literally your source.
>win internet points or just fill up your vacuous life.
Nowhere near as vacuous as following someone around in the comments and replyguying after proven wrong.
>Debating someone who is not interested in actually understnading the world
True, no one should be "debating" you. Glad I'm not, I'm just destroying you with facts.
>So please grow up. Until then, I won't continue this conversation.
Glad you admit defeat.
